D-Link 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Metal Ethernet Switch (DGS-1024C)

Expand Your Network Without the Complexity

D-Link 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch (DGS-1024C) – Fanless Metal Design, QoS, Follows NDAA Standards

Need more wired connections without adding PoE, configuration, subscriptions, or management overhead? The DGS-1024C gives you 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a simple, plug-and-play unmanaged switch designed for expanding wired network capacity in offices, labs, AV systems, surveillance networks, and equipment racks. Just connect your devices and the switch automatically negotiates the appropriate network speed, with Auto-MDI/MDIX helping simplify cabling and installation.

With up to 48 Gbps switching capacity, support for wire-speed reception and transmission, and Gigabit Ethernet transfer rates of up to 2000 Mbps full-duplex, the DGS-1024C is built to handle everyday high-speed wired network traffic across its 24 ports.

The switch also supports IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS), 802.3x flow control, 9,216-byte jumbo frames, and IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet, which can automatically help reduce power usage when ports are inactive or based on connected cable length. Its energy-efficient design also helps reduces heat generation and allows the switch to operate silently, making it suitable for workspaces and other noise-sensitive environments.

Great For:

• Small and Medium Offices: Helps connect PCs, VoIP phones with separate power, printers, servers, and shared storage over wired Gigabit connections.
• Retail and POS Networks: Provides straightforward wired connectivity for POS terminals, back-office PCs, receipt printers, inventory stations, and other Ethernet-connected equipment.
• AV Systems and Digital Signage: Helps connect media players, displays, controllers, and other AV equipment that use their own power source.
• Education, Labs, and Training Rooms: Helps connect workstations, lab PCs, instructor systems, and other wired devices with simple plug-and-play operation.
• Surveillance Networks with Separate Power: Provides Gigabit connectivity for IP cameras and other surveillance equipment that are powered separately.
• Equipment Racks and Network Expansion: Adds 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports where straightforward, unmanaged connectivity is needed, with no configuration or ongoing management required.
• Home Labs and Prosumer Networks: A practical fit for test environments, home servers, NAS devices, gaming systems, media devices, and other wired equipment that benefits from simple Gigabit connectivity.

* Maximum wired connection speed is up to 1GbE per port. Actual speed will vary for a given network, or depend on device/cable limitations, temperature, and other environmental conditions.
