Technical Specifications Explained

We believe in clarity. Here’s a simple breakdown of what the technical details mean for you.

• Model: D-Link DES-1024D

• Total Ports: 24 x 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet

  • What it means: You can connect up to 24 devices. The speed is ideal for everyday business and home tasks like web browsing, email, file sharing, streaming standard-definition video, and connecting network printers and point-of-sale systems.

• Switch Type: Unmanaged

  • What it means: This switch is designed for simplicity. It automatically handles all network traffic without needing any setup, making it perfect for users who want a hassle-free solution.

• Switching Capacity: 4.8 Gbps

  • What it means: Think of this as the switch's internal data highway. It has enough bandwidth to manage traffic from all 24 ports at once, preventing slowdowns and ensuring data moves efficiently between your devices.

• Auto MDI/MDIX Support

  • What it means: You don't have to worry about what kind of Ethernet cable you're using (straight-through or crossover). The switch automatically detects the cable type and makes the connection work.

• Forwarding Rate: 3.57 Mpps (Million packets per second)

  • What it means: This measures how quickly the switch can process and forward data. The high rate ensures that your data packets reach their destination without delay, leading to a responsive and snappy network experience.

• MAC Address Table: 8K Entries

  • What it means: The switch has a built-in memory to remember the unique address of up to 8,000 connected devices. This allows it to send data directly to the correct device instead of broadcasting it everywhere, improving network efficiency and security.

• Cooling: Fanless Design

  • What it means: It operates in complete silence and is more energy-efficient and less prone to failure since it has no moving parts.

Ideal For:

• Small to Medium-Sized Offices: Connect workstations, printers, servers, and VoIP phones with ease.
