The D-Link DGS-1024D/E is an unmanaged Layer-2 Gigabit switch with 24 RJ-45 ports, designed for small offices, workgroups and departmental networks. It enables networking of devices with data rates up to 1 Gbit/s per port and supports full-duplex transmission, allowing maximum throughput of up to 2000 Mbit/s per port. The switch is designed for plug-and-play operation and requires no manual configuration or network management functions, making it particularly suitable for environments with limited technical requirements.

Applications

The DGS-1024D/E is ideal for small businesses, home users and SoHo environments where a simple, reliable and cost-efficient network connection is required. It is suitable for connecting workstations, printers, servers and other end devices connected via standard Ethernet cables (Cat5 or higher). Support for 10/100/1000Mbit/s enables flexible adaptation to existing network infrastructures.

Features and equipment in detail

The switch features 24 auto-sensing RJ-45 ports that automatically detect the correct transmission direction (MDI/MDIX), eliminating the need for crossover cables. Data transmission occurs via store-and-forward method, ensuring data packets are fully received and checked before forwarding, which increases transmission reliability. The MAC address table contains 8000 entries, sufficient to manage a large number of devices in the network. The switching capacity is 48 Gbit/s, enabling high throughput for the entire switch.

Technology explained simply

The maximum data transfer rate per port is 1 Gbit/s, with full-duplex mode allowing simultaneous transmission in both directions. The buffer RAM technology with a total buffer memory of 0.5 MB ensures data packets are temporarily stored to prevent overloads. The IEEE 802.3x flow control function prevents data loss during receiver overload by temporarily halting transmission. For time-critical applications, the switch supports the QoS protocol 802.1p, enabling prioritization of data traffic.

Compatibility and accessories

The switch is equipped with an integrated power supply and can be used either as a desktop device or mounted in a 19-inch rack. The delivery includes the device itself, rubber feet and 19-inch mounting hardware, facilitating installation in various environments. Compatible accessories include, for example, the managed switch DGS-1210-28/E, suitable for advanced network functions.

Mounting and installation

Installation is performed by simply connecting devices to the RJ-45 ports. LED indicators on the front of the device show the operating status and connection of each port. Mounting in a 19-inch rack is possible using the included mounting hardware, enabling use in professional network environments.

Advantages in operation

The DGS-1024D/E features energy-saving technology known as D-Link Green. This function reduces power consumption in standard operation to 26.7 W and enables savings of up to 44 %, without affecting performance or functionality. The reduced heat emission also extends the device's lifespan. The switch operates silently, as it has no fan, making it suitable for quiet work environments. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to 40 °C, and the relative humidity during operation is 5 to 95 %, enabling flexible use in various indoor environments.
