D-Link DGS-1024D/B 24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch

The D-Link DGS-1024D/B 24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch is a reliable and high-performance networking solution designed to expand wired network connectivity for offices, businesses, schools, homes, retail environments, and small-to-medium-sized networks. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing computers, printers, servers, IP cameras, access points, network storage devices, VoIP equipment, and other Ethernet-enabled devices to connect to the network at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.

Designed for simple plug-and-play operation, the DGS-1024D/B requires no complicated software configuration or network management. Each port automatically detects the connected device’s network speed and duplex mode, while Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables. With a 48 Gbps switching capacity, store-and-forward switching, Quality of Service (QoS), Jumbo Frame support, and Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology, the switch provides efficient and reliable connectivity for modern wired networks.

Product Features

24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The DGS-1024D/B features 24 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing a convenient way to connect multiple network devices through a single switch. All ports support Gigabit Ethernet for high-speed data communication.

10/100/1000 Mbps Network Speed

Each port supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. This allows the switch to work with a mixture of standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet devices while providing Gigabit speeds to compatible equipment.

48 Gbps Switching Capacity

The switch provides a 48 Gbps switching capacity, enabling efficient handling of network traffic across all 24 ports. This makes it suitable for file transfers, internet connectivity, server access, network storage, VoIP, video applications, and other bandwidth-intensive network activities.

Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation

The DGS-1024D/B is an unmanaged switch that requires no software installation or complicated configuration. Simply connect the Ethernet cables, connect the power supply, and the switch is ready to operate.

Auto-Negotiation

Each port automatically detects the speed and duplex capabilities of the connected network device and negotiates the appropriate connection speed for reliable network communication.

Auto MDI/MDIX

Auto MDI/MDIX automatically detects the type of Ethernet connection and eliminates the need for crossover cables. Standard Ethernet cables can be used when connecting computers, switches, routers, printers, access points, and other network devices.

Full/Half-Duplex Support

The switch supports full- and half-duplex communication according to the requirements of connected devices, helping provide efficient data transmission across the network.

Quality of Service (QoS)

The DGS-1024D/B supports IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service, allowing network traffic to be prioritized. This can help improve the handling of time-sensitive applications such as VoIP and multimedia traffic when the network is experiencing heavy activity.

Store-and-Forward Switching

The switch uses a store-and-forward switching architecture to receive, inspect, and forward Ethernet packets to their appropriate destinations. This helps provide reliable communication between connected network devices.

Jumbo Frame Support

The DGS-1024D/B supports Jumbo Frames, allowing larger Ethernet frames to be transmitted across compatible network devices. This can help improve efficiency when transferring large files and data between servers, workstations, and network storage systems.

Energy-Efficient Ethernet

The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which helps reduce power consumption during periods of low network activity. D-Link’s energy-saving features are designed to improve efficiency while maintaining network performance.

Fanless Design

The DGS-1024D/B uses a fanless design, allowing it to operate quietly without the noise associated with cooling fans. This makes it suitable for offices, workspaces, classrooms, retail environments, and other locations where low operating noise is desirable.

8K MAC Address Table

The switch supports up to 8,000 MAC addresses, allowing it to learn and manage the network addresses of numerous connected devices.

Cable Diagnostics

Cable diagnostic functionality can help identify connectivity or cable-related issues, making network troubleshooting easier.

Reliable Network Expansion

With 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the DGS-1024D/B provides an easy way to expand an existing wired network without requiring complex network management or configuration.

Desktop and Rack-Mountable Installation

The compact metal housing is designed for flexible installation and can be deployed on a desktop or incorporated into suitable network cabinet and rack environments. D-Link also describes the DGS-1024D as compact, durable, and wall-mountable on current product documentation.
