TP-Link TL-SF1024D - 24-port Fast Ethernet unmanaged switch, Grey

The TP-Link TL-SF1024D is a 24-port 10/100 Mbps unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch designed to expand wired networks without needing software configuration. As a plug-and-play device, it handles basic Layer 2 switching automatically. It features 24 RJ45 ports, each supporting speeds of up to 100 Mbps. Desktop computers, printers, and network drives can be connected immediately to expand local network capacity. The switch uses auto-negotiation and auto-sensing to determine the optimal connection speed for each device.

Housed in a grey metal chassis, the unit is suitable for desktop or rack mounting and measures 294 x 180 x 44 mm. Its fanless design ensures silent operation in noise-sensitive environments, such as open-plan offices. Front-facing LEDs provide visual confirmation of link status and network activity. The device is powered via a standard AC input, drawing a maximum of 3.2 W at full load. The internal architecture supports a MAC address table of up to 8,000 entries for network traffic management. The metal casing dissipates heat naturally, supporting continuous, uninterrupted operation.

• 4.8 Gbit/s switching capacity processes data across all ports simultaneously to prevent bottlenecks.
• 3.57 Mpps forwarding rate ensures rapid packet delivery during periods of high traffic.
• Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to other switches or routers.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control reduces packet loss by pausing data transmission if the receiving node is overwhelmed.
• 2 MB packet buffer memory stores incoming data bursts to maintain steady performance.
• Compatible with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks using standard Cat3, Cat4, Cat5, or Cat5e UTP cabling.
