D-Link GO-SW-24G - 24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Black

The D-Link GO-SW-24G 24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch expands local network capacity without the need for software configuration. As a plug-and-play Layer 2 device, it directs wired traffic between computers, servers, and storage units. The unit features 24 RJ-45 ports, each supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. Every port uses auto-negotiation to detect connected hardware and select the appropriate transfer rate. The switch offers a total switching capacity of 48 Gbit/s, and a forwarding rate of 35.71 Mpps ensures efficient data packet handling during periods of heavy traffic.

This 1U rack-mount model is housed in a black metal chassis and fits into standard networking cabinets. It uses passive cooling, which removes the need for mechanical fans. Because it operates silently, the switch is suitable for offices or workspaces where noise is a concern. The unit measures 280 x 180 x 44 mm and weighs 1350 g. Front-facing LEDs show the connection status and activity for each port. The device has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 302,287 hours.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX on all ports makes crossover cables unnecessary when connecting to other network equipment.
• Support for 9216-byte jumbo frames improves transfer speeds for large files between local servers.
• The 8000-entry MAC address table provides enough capacity to manage traffic in mid-sized networks.
• A maximum power consumption of 15.4 W keeps electricity usage low during continuous operation.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents data loss by signaling devices to pause transmission when buffers are full.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet compliance automatically adjusts power usage based on link status.
• A 0.512 MB packet buffer stores incoming data temporarily to prevent dropped frames during traffic spikes.
