NETGEAR GS324-200EUS - 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Black

The NETGEAR GS324-200EUS 24-port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch expands wired local area networks without the need for configuration. It features 24 RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) ports to increase wired capacity. As a plug-and-play device, the switch forwards traffic using standard MAC address learning. It provides a total switching capacity of 48 Gbit/s to maintain consistent throughput across all active ports. Connections use standard Cat5 cabling to link computers, storage devices, and other network hardware.

Housed in a metal chassis, the unit measures 252 x 180 x 44 mm and weighs 1310 g. It is designed for rack-mounting in standard equipment cabinets, but also supports wall mounting to save space. The fanless design allows for silent, passive heat management. Front-facing LED indicators display activity, link, power, and speed status for quick visual troubleshooting. The hardware has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 620,798 hours.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX support detects the connection type, removing the need for crossover cables.
• Quality of Service (QoS) prioritises bandwidth-sensitive traffic for reliable local data transmission.
• The MAC address table supports 8,000 entries for growing networks with multiple devices.
• Jumbo frame support up to 9,216 bytes improves efficiency during large file transfers and network backups.
• Maximum power consumption is 11.1 W.
• Forwarding rates of 1.448 Mpps and 1 Gbps latency of 4.7 µs ensure performance under heavy traffic loads.
