D-Link DMS-1024/E - 24-Port 2.5 Gigabit Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch, Black

The D-Link DMS-1024/E 24-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch expands network capacity without the need for configuration. It is a plug-and-play device that automatically manages traffic once connected. The unit features 24 copper Ethernet ports for direct connections to PCs, storage arrays, or access points. Each interface supports data transfer rates up to 2.5 Gbit/s. The ports are backward compatible, automatically adjusting to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/s for older networking equipment. The device is ready for immediate use, requiring no software interface.

Housed in a black metal chassis, the switch measures 440 × 250 × 44 mm and weighs 3,421 grams. It is designed for continuous operation. LED indicators show port activity and connection status. The switch supports QoS and traffic classification to prioritise time-sensitive data across the local network. Power is supplied via a DC input, with a maximum consumption of 35.49 W. The device has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 646,914 hours. The switches can be mounted, allowing for physical expansion as network requirements grow.

• 32,000-entry MAC address table for tracking devices on dense local networks.
• 120 Gbit/s total switching capacity ensures non-blocking data throughput during heavy loads.
• 89.28 Mpps forwarding rate to prevent bottlenecks during high-volume packet exchanges.
• Support for 12,288-byte jumbo frames to improve efficiency for large file transfers and data-heavy applications.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX on every interface automatically detects cable types, removing the need for crossover cables.
• Compliance with IEEE networking standards, including 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, to reduce power consumption during idle periods.
