Switch D-Link DES-1024D/E, 24 ports 10/100, Desktop, rack mount

This D-Link DES-1024D/E is a 24-port 10/100 switch that easily meets the needs of a small office, workshop, or home network with multiple devices. The compact form factor is suitable for desktop use, but you can also mount it in a rack if you want a more organized infrastructure. It supports the main networking standards and operates reliably in a wide temperature range from 0 to 50°C. If you need a reliable "plug and forget" switch, this is exactly that type of device.

What you get

You have 24 x RJ-45 ports, which is more than enough for an office with many workstations, printers, cameras, or other network devices. The table with up to 8K MAC addresses allows it to handle busy environments where traffic from different segments and clients flows. The 256K buffer memory helps for smoother traffic management and reduces the likelihood of packet loss during short peak loads. It is powered by DC 5V 1.2A, making it economical and easy to integrate even into power-limited solutions (UPS, smaller power strips). Thanks to the LED indicators for Link/Act and Power, you can check in seconds whether the port has a link and activity without digging through cables and settings.

• 24 x RJ-45 ports provide enough connectivity for workstations, IP phones, cameras, and printers in one switch.
• Support for IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x, and 802.3az ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices and more efficient traffic management.
• MAC table with a capacity of 8K addresses allows the switch to operate reliably even in larger or segmented networks without getting confused by many clients.
• 256K buffer memory helps for smoother traffic flow and fewer losses during peak loads.
• Operating temperature from 0 to 50°C provides enough flexibility for installation in warmer office environments or racks with less cooling.
• Power supply DC 5V 1.2A means low consumption and easy integration with UPS or other backup power supplies.
• LED indicators for Link/Act and Power facilitate diagnostics and daily monitoring of the port's status and the switch itself.

Who it is suitable for

This switch is suitable if you are building or expanding the network in a small to medium office, classroom, service center, or larger home with many wired devices. It also works well for simpler installations with cameras and other permanent clients where you do not need managed features. It is not suitable if you are aiming for gigabit connectivity, VLANs, QoS, or more complex enterprise scenarios.

The combination of 24 ports, 8K MAC table, and low power consumption makes the D-Link DES-1024D/E a practical choice if you want a stable switch that just works without unnecessary complications.
