D-Link DGS-1024D 24-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Unmanaged Gigabit Rackmount Switch

Description of D-Link 24-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch DGS-1024D

Is your office network ready to handle the demands of modern devices, large file transfers, and high-bandwidth applications across an entire workgroup? Are you looking for a high-density switch that delivers true Gigabit performance to everyone without complex configuration? The D-Link DGS-1024D 24-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch is the definitive wired networking solution for expanding businesses. It provides instant Gigabit connectivity to up to 24 devices in a durable, rack-mountable metal chassis—all without a single configuration step .

True Gigabit Across All 24 Ports
Don’t settle for a switch with only one or two Gigabit uplinks. The DGS-1024D delivers full Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) at every single port. With a colossal 48 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 8K MAC address table, this switch ensures maximum wire-speed performance for up to 24 devices simultaneously . Mix legacy 10 Mbps printers, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet IP cameras, and modern Gigabit workstations on the same switch without bottlenecks.

Integrated Smart Features via DIP Switch
The DGS-1024D goes beyond a simple unmanaged switch. A physical DIP switch on the front panel lets you enable specialized functions for your network in seconds :

• Port Isolation: Isolates ports 1 through 23 from each other while allowing them to communicate with port 24. Perfect for isolating IP cameras or guest workstations for added security.

• Storm Control: Applies a broadcast storm control threshold to prevent network disruptions from heavy broadcast traffic.

• EEE Enable/Disable: Allows you to toggle the 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet feature.

• Flow Control: Enable or disable IEEE 802.3x flow control to manage data transmission reliability.

Energy Efficiency with D-Link Green
The DGS-1024D incorporates D-Link Green technology, leveraging IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet. The switch intelligently powers down ports that have no link, reduces power based on cable length, and puts inactive ports into sleep mode. This can cut power consumption significantly without sacrificing performance, lowering your electricity bills and extending the switch’s lifespan .

Built for the Network Closet
Designed with a robust metal housing and internal power supply, the DGS-1024D is ideal for demanding office or IT closet environments. The fanless, silent design makes it suitable for open-plan offices or classrooms where constant humming is a distraction . Included rack-mount brackets allow professional installation in a standard 19-inch rack alongside your servers and patch panels, while rubber feet are provided for stable desktop placement.

True Plug-and-Play Deployment
No software to configure, no IT consultant required. Auto MDI/MDIX cross-over on all ports eliminates the need for special uplink cables. Auto-negotiation on each port automatically senses the optimal link speed for every device. Diagnostic LEDs allow for quick visual troubleshooting of network issues. Simply plug your router, server, or existing switch into a port, connect your devices, and your high-speed network is ready .

Who Is This For?

• Small-to-medium businesses: Connect entire departments with high-speed Gigabit to workstations, servers, and printers.

• Server rooms and IT closets: Rack-mount this switch as the backbone of your structured cabling system.

• Schools and computer labs: Provide fast, reliable connectivity to dozens of student and teacher workstations simultaneously.

• IP camera and surveillance networks: Connect up to 24 high-bandwidth IP cameras and your NVR.

• Design studios and creative agencies: Transfer massive design files, video projects, and renders across the network instantaneously.
