24-port Gigabit PoE++ unmanaged switch

The Netgear GS524UP-100NAS delivers 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports in a desktop or rack-mount metal enclosure. Sixteen ports supply up to 60 W each under the 802.3bt PoE++ standard while eight ports provide 30 W PoE+. The total power budget reaches 480 W, supporting cameras, access points and VoIP phones without external injectors. Plug-and-play operation requires no software configuration.

Sustained load behaviour with 480 W budget

A non-blocking 48 Gbps fabric and 192 KB packet buffer maintain wire-speed forwarding across all ports under continuous traffic. The 578.80 W maximum draw includes PoE output and system overhead, so the 480 W budget remains available for connected devices. Energy-efficient IEEE 802.3az operation reduces per-port consumption when links are idle. Passive cooling eliminates fan noise during extended 24/7 duty cycles.

Metal chassis, rack ears and rubber feet included

The all-metal housing doubles as a heatsink for silent thermal management in offices or server rooms. Supplied rack-mount brackets and desktop rubber feet allow immediate deployment in either orientation. Front-panel LEDs show link speed and activity per port for quick troubleshooting. Compliance with ErP, RoHS and WEEE directives confirms regulated substance and efficiency standards.

Questions about this item

How loud is the GS524UP-100NAS when all 24 ports are active all day?

The switch uses a passively cooled fanless design, so it runs silently even under full PoE load.

What cables or devices must I already have to use the 16 Ultra60 PoE++ ports at 60W each?

You need Category 5e or better twisted-pair cables and powered devices that accept 802.3bt Type 3 PoE++ up to 60W per port.

Will the 48Gbps non-blocking fabric and 192KB packet buffer work properly with my older 10/100Base-T cameras?

Yes, each RJ45 port auto-negotiates down to 10 or 100Mbps while the switch fabric maintains wire-speed forwarding for every port.
