DCC Switches

Tom has a question for DCC buffs and asks:
“I currently have several new switches, code 83, being gathered for my new layout when I retire out west. I am starting to change over to DCC with new engines.What, if any, is the difference between a DC switch and a DCC switch ? None of my switches indicate they are DCC and I want to switch over to DCC power and engines.”
