D-Link DES-1024D 24-Port Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Unmanaged Switch

D-Link DES-1024D: The 24-Port Plug-and-Play Network Powerhouse

Running out of network ports? Need a simple, reliable, and powerful way to expand your office, school, or business network? The D-Link DES-1024D 24-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch is your no-fuss solution for instant, high-speed connectivity.

Designed for performance and simplicity, this switch allows you to connect up to 24 devices—such as computers, printers, network storage, and CCTV cameras—with the ease of plug-and-play. No software, no configuration, just a seamless network expansion that works right out of the box.

Key Features at a Glance

• Massive Expansion: Instantly add 24 Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) ports to your network.
• Effortless Setup: True plug-and-play functionality means zero configuration is required.
• High-Speed Performance: A 4.8 Gbps switching capacity ensures smooth data flow without bottlenecks.
• Smart & Efficient: Features D-Link Green Technology to automatically save power and reduce energy costs.
• Built to Last: Housed in a durable, fanless metal chassis for silent operation and long-term reliability.
• Flexible Installation: Use it on a desktop or mount it in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

Effortless Setup, Powerful Performance

Forget complicated manuals and confusing software. The DES-1024D is an unmanaged switch, which means it’s engineered for simplicity.

• Auto-Negotiation: Each of the 24 ports intelligently senses the speed of the connected device (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and automatically adjusts for optimal performance.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX: No more guessing which network cable to use! This feature automatically detects the cable type (straight-through or crossover) and makes the connection work, saving you time and frustration.
• Store-and-Forward Architecture: To ensure your data arrives intact, the switch inspects each data packet for errors before forwarding it. This minimizes the transmission of bad packets and creates a more stable, reliable network for everyone.

The Engine of Your Network: Built for Speed and Reliability

Don't let the simplicity fool you—the DES-1024D is a performance-driven workhorse.

• High-Capacity Data Handling: With a 4.8 Gbps switching fabric, think of this as a multi-lane highway for your data. It can handle traffic from all 24 ports simultaneously, preventing slowdowns even during peak usage.
• IEEE 802.3x Flow Control: This feature prevents data collisions and packet loss when the network is busy, ensuring a smooth and consistent connection for critical applications like video conferencing, file transfers, and IP camera feeds.
• Large MAC Address Table: With support for up to 8,000 MAC addresses, the switch easily manages and remembers all the devices on your growing network, ensuring data is sent directly to its intended recipient without delay.

Smart, Efficient, and Durable Design

The DES-1024D is engineered to be a silent, dependable partner for your business.

• D-Link Green Technology: This switch is kind to your electricity bill. It automatically detects the link status of each port and the length of the connected cable, powering down unused ports and adjusting power output to save energy without sacrificing performance.
• Robust Metal Casing: The sturdy metal housing not only protects the internal components but also helps dissipate heat, allowing the switch to run coolly and efficiently without a noisy fan.
• Silent Operation: The fanless design means the DES-1024D operates in complete silence, making it perfect for noise-sensitive environments like open-plan offices, classrooms, or reception areas.

Ideal For Your Growing Needs

The D-Link DES-1024D is the perfect connectivity hub for a wide range of environments:

• Small to Medium Businesses: Easily connect all your office computers, printers, servers, and VoIP phones.
• CCTV Surveillance: Provide stable, wired connections for a large number of IP security cameras.
• Schools & Labs: Expand network access in classrooms and computer labs for students and staff.
• LAN Parties & Home Offices: Create a high-performance local network for gaming, streaming, and connecting all your smart devices.
