LevelOne GSW-2457 24 Ports Ethernet Switch - 24 x Network (RJ-45) Ports - 10/100/1000Base-T content_copy

The LevelOne GSW-2457 is an unmanaged 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for use in small to medium-sized networks. The device offers 24 RJ-45 ports with a data transfer rate of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s and is designed for rack mounting. It features a metallic housing in black, ensuring stable and durable operation. The integrated LED indicators for activity, link, power, and speed enable quick visual inspection of the operational status.

Applications

The switch is suitable for office and home applications where a simple, reliable network connection is required. It is particularly suited for environments where complex management functions are not necessary, and fast, stable data transmission is the priority. Support for Jumbo Frames with a size of 9000 bytes increases transfer rate and reduces latency when transmitting large data volumes, for example in video or CAD applications.

Functions and Features in Detail

The GSW-2457 supports network standards IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3af, and IEEE 802.3az. The Auto MDI/MDI-X function automatically detects cable type and eliminates the need for crossover cables. The MAC address table with 8000 entries enables efficient management of connected devices. The Store-and-Forward technology ensures error-free data transmission by receiving and checking the entire data packet before forwarding it.

Technology Explained Simply

The switching capacity of 48 Gbit/s and a transfer rate of 1.488 Mpps ensure high performance, even when multiple users are using the network simultaneously. The integrated energy efficiency according to IEEE 802.3az minimizes power consumption in standard operation to 15 W. The built-in processor and 4 MB flash memory support smooth processing of network data. Power supply is provided by an internal power unit with an input voltage of 100–240 V AC at 50 Hz.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch is compatible with all devices supporting Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000). The delivery includes an AC power cable, a quick start guide, and a rack mounting kit, enabling installation in standard 19-inch racks. Certifications FCC Class A, VCCI Class A ITE, and RoHS guarantee compliance with applicable electromagnetic compatibility and environmental standards.

Mounting and Installation

The GSW-2457 is designed for rack mounting and can be installed in standard 19-inch racks. Dimensions are 44 mm (width), 220 mm (depth), and 440 mm (height). Mounting is done using the included rack mounting kit. Installation is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration.

Operational Advantages

The switch provides a reliable, maintenance-free network connection with high speed and low power consumption. The LED indicators simplify fault diagnosis, and support for Jumbo Frames optimizes the transfer of large files. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 40 °C, with relative humidity during operation at 10–90 %. Storage is possible at temperatures from -40 to 70 °C and relative humidity of 5–90 %. The device is designed for indoor use and does not require additional cooling.
