D-Link DES-1024D 24-Port Unmanaged Desktop Switch

D-Link DES-1024D 24-Port Unmanaged Desktop Switch is a powerful networking solution engineered to meet the demanding connectivity requirements of medium-sized businesses, educational institutions, and growing enterprises. With twenty-four 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports, this switch provides extensive capacity to connect multiple workstations, servers, printers, and network devices in a centralized, efficient manner.

Designed for businesses that need performance without complexity, the DES-1024D features true plug-and-play operation requiring zero configuration. Each port automatically negotiates speed (10/100 Mbps) and duplex mode, while auto-MDI/MDIX functionality eliminates cable type concerns, making deployment quick and trouble-free.

The switch delivers impressive performance with 4.8 Gbps switching capacity and wire-speed packet forwarding across all ports simultaneously. Store-and-forward switching architecture ensures error-free transmission, while IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during heavy network traffic.

Energy efficiency is built into the core design with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology, which intelligently reduces power consumption during idle periods. The fanless architecture guarantees silent operation, ideal for office environments where noise disruption is a concern.

Encased in a robust metal housing with excellent heat dissipation properties, the DES-1024D is built for continuous operation and long-term reliability. Comprehensive LED indicators provide instant visual monitoring of power, link status, and activity for all twenty-four ports.
