Expand Your Network Instantly

With 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, the DGS-1024C gives you the freedom to build a powerful and reliable network. Instantly connect computers, printers, servers, NAS (Network Attached Storage) drives, IP cameras, and more. Each port delivers full Gigabit speed, ensuring that your team can access shared resources and transfer large files in a fraction of the time it takes on a standard Fast Ethernet network.

A Powerhouse of Performance

Don't let the simple design fool you. The DGS-1024C is built to handle heavy network traffic with ease.

• Massive Switching Capacity: Think of this as the switch's multi-lane superhighway. With a 48 Gbps capacity, it can handle data from all 24 ports simultaneously, eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring a smooth, lag-free experience for everyone.
• Intelligent Data Handling: The switch easily remembers and manages up to 16,000 unique device addresses (MAC addresses), allowing your network to scale without getting confused or slowing down.
• Optimized for Large Files: Support for 9K Jumbo Frames allows the switch to send larger data packets, significantly speeding up the transfer of large files like design assets, video projects, and database backups.

Intelligent Features That Work For You

The DGS-1024C is packed with smart features that optimize performance and reliability behind the scenes.

• Quality of Service (QoS): The switch intelligently prioritizes time-sensitive traffic like VoIP calls and video conferences. This means your critical communications remain clear and stutter-free, even when other users are downloading large files.
• Foolproof Cable Installation: Thanks to Auto MDI/MDIX, you'll never have to worry about using the wrong type of Ethernet cable. Every port automatically detects the required cable connection and adjusts accordingly.
• D-Link Green Technology: This eco-friendly feature is smart about power. It automatically detects the status of connected devices and the length of the cable, reducing power to inactive ports and optimizing usage. This lowers your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint.

Professional Design, Silent Operation

Built with a sturdy metal housing, the DGS-1024C is made to last. Its fanless design ensures it dissipates heat effectively without any distracting fan noise, making it the perfect addition to a quiet office, conference room, or reception area. Its versatile form factor allows you to place it on a desk or use the included mounting kit for a clean, professional installation in a server rack.

The Ideal Networking Solution For:

• Small to Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs) needing a reliable network backbone.
• Office Departments expanding their team and requiring more wired connections.
• Creative Agencies and Studios transferring large media and design files.
• Schools and Workgroups requiring stable, high-speed connectivity for multiple users.
• Anyone needing a simple, powerful, and dependable network expansion.
