24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

The D-Link DGS-1024C is a 24-port unmanaged network switch designed for small offices and home offices that need simple, high-speed wired connectivity. It provides 24 RJ45 ports operating at 10/100/1000 Mbps, allowing up to 24 devices to connect for fast file transfers and smooth media streaming. Plug-and-play installation requires no configuration, making it an economical choice for expanding a local area network without management overhead.

Suits growing SOHO networks.

This switch suits small to medium businesses and home offices that want to add many Gigabit connections instantly without software setup. QoS support prioritises latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP calls and streaming media. Buyers who need VLAN segmentation, SNMP monitoring, port mirroring or any Layer 2 management features should look at a managed switch instead, as this model offers no configuration interface.

8K MAC address table capacity

The switch uses a store-and-forward switching method with a 512 KB buffer and an 8K-entry MAC address table to handle frame forwarding across all 24 ports. IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet automatically reduces power on inactive or short-cable links, with maximum consumption of 15.4 W and standby draw of 4.4 W. Per-port LEDs show link, activity and speed status, while a single power LED confirms the unit is live.

Questions about this item

What limits throughput when all 24 ports run at full speed for hours?

The 512 KB buffer and 8K MAC table handle burst traffic, but sustained line-rate loads across every port can exceed internal bandwidth.

How loud and hot does the DGS-1024C get during all-day operation?

Fanless design keeps it silent; maximum draw is 15.4 W and the chassis is rated for 0–40 °C operating temperature.

What cables and power source must I already have to use this switch?

Standard Ethernet cables (Cat 5e or better) for each device and a 100–240 V AC mains outlet for the built-in power supply.
