D-Link 24-Port Fast Ethernet Switch (DES-1024A)

D-Link 24-Port Fast Ethernet Switch (DES-1024A)

The D-Link 24-Port Fast Ethernet Switch (DES-1024A) is an unmanaged switch providing 24 10/100 Mbps ports in a 1U rackmount metal housing. It is designed for medium-sized businesses, school networks, and hospitality environments requiring up to 24 wired network connections. The switch features a non-blocking switching capacity of 4.8 Gbps, ensuring full wire-speed forwarding on all ports simultaneously. All ports support Auto-MDI/MDIX and auto-negotiation, simplifying installation. IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during network congestion. The switch includes an internal power supply and a fan for active cooling (some revisions are fanless). Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption on inactive ports. This switch provides a cost-effective solution for networks where Gigabit speeds are not required.
