D-Link DGS-1024D 24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch

Boost your network with the D-Link DGS-1024D: a 24-port Gigabit unmanaged switch in a sturdy metal case for fast, reliable connectivity. Plug-and-play with auto MDI/MDIX, energy-efficient features, silent fanless operation, jumbo frame support, and cable diagnostics—perfect for small business or home use in Nairobi, delivering smooth file transfers, streaming, VoIP, and multi-device performance with 48 Gbps switching capacity.

• 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports for full-duplex speeds up to 2000 Mbps per port—excellent for quick file sharing, HD/4K streaming, and lag-free multi-device use.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No configuration needed—just connect standard Ethernet cables; auto MDI/MDIX eliminates crossover cable requirements.
• 48 Gbps Switching Capacity: Non-blocking wire-speed performance with 35.71 Mpps forwarding rate for smooth, bottleneck-free data flow across all ports.
• Rugged Metal Housing: Durable all-metal enclosure for superior heat dissipation, longevity, and quiet fanless operation in any environment.
• Energy-Efficient Design: Supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) to reduce power consumption on idle ports and during low activity.
• QoS Support: IEEE 802.1p prioritization for smoother VoIP calls, video streaming, and time-sensitive traffic without manual setup.
• Jumbo Frame Support: Up to 9,216 bytes (or 9,600 in some variants) for improved efficiency in large file transfers or NAS backups.
• Store-and-Forward Switching: Checks packets for errors before forwarding, reducing collisions and enhancing network stability.
• LED Indicators: Front-panel lights show power, link/activity, and speed (1000 Mbps) per port for easy troubleshooting.
• Cable Diagnostics: Built-in function (via LEDs or boot-up) helps detect cable faults quickly for faster setup and maintenance.
• DIP Switch Controls: Front-panel DIP switches for toggling features like Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Flow Control, Port Isolation, and Storm Control.
• Compact & Rack-Mountable: Desktop form factor (about 280 x 180 x 44 mm) with included rack-mount kit—fits on a desk, shelf, or in a 19-inch rack.
• High Compatibility: Works with all standard Ethernet devices (PCs, laptops, routers, NAS, consoles) using Cat5e/Cat6 cables.
• Silent & Reliable Operation: Fanless for zero noise—ideal for quiet home or office spaces in Nairobi’s warm climate.
• Great for Network Expansion: Affordable way to add Gigabit ports to your router for stable, high-speed wired connections in small to medium networks—perfect for SOHO, workgroups, or upgrading from Fast Ethernet.
