10/100/1000 Mbps edge switches to core gigabit switches, the switch family has been future-proof designed to provide

fault tolerance, flexibility, port density, robust security, and maximum throughput with a user-friendly management

interface for the networking professional.

This cost-effective Gigabit Switch provides an affordable solution for administrators to upgrade their networks to high

speed Gigabit connections. The dedicated stacking ports offer up to 40G or 80G bi-directional bandwidth, which also

makes the DGS-3630 Series suitable as a backbone solution for SMBs. The advanced ACL and user authentication

functions on the Switch extend the network security coverage from core to edge. The unique D-Link Safeguard Engine

protects the DGS-3630 Series from the threat of worms and viruses, thereby increasing overall reliability,

serviceability, and availability.

The Switch has a combination of 1 Gbps RJ45/SFP ports and 10 Gbps SFP+ ports that may be used to connect

various networking devices to the Switch or to physically stack the Switch with other switches in this series. The Small

Form-factor Portable (SFP) combo ports are used with fiber-optical transceiver cabling in order to uplink various other

networking devices for a gigabit link that may span great distances.
