Neřízený switch D-Link DES-1024D

The D-Link DES-1024D is an unmanaged 24-port desktop Ethernet switch designed for small offices and larger workgroups. It provides 24 RJ-45 ports with auto-sensing for 10/100 Mbps speeds, auto-negotiation for half and full duplex, and IEEE 802.3x flow control for reliable data transfer. The switch is plug-and-play and compliant with IEEE networking standards, making it suitable for expanding wired networks without configuration.

Advantages

The DES-1024D offers straightforward installation with no configuration required and supports auto-sensing ports that adjust link speed and duplex automatically. With 24 RJ-45 ports and a MAC address table sized to handle typical small-to-medium business environments, it enables easy network expansion. An MDI uplink port allows cascading multiple switches to increase port count while IEEE 802.3x flow control improves reliability for server connections.

Suitable for

• Small offices and home offices
• Small to medium-sized businesses and workgroups
• Expanding wired networks where plug-and-play deployment is preferred
• Connecting servers and network devices requiring flow-controlled links

Key specifications

• Switch type: Unmanaged
• Ports: 24 x RJ-45 10/100 Mbps (auto-sensing, auto-negotiation)
• Standards: IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3x
• MAC address table: 8000 entries
• Weight: 2.8 kg
• Expansion: MDI uplink port for cascading switches

How to use

Place the DES-1024D on a flat surface in a ventilated area. Connect power and allow the switch to complete its power-up sequence. Attach Ethernet cables from workstations, servers, or other network devices to the RJ-45 ports; the switch will automatically detect link speed (10/100 Mbps) and set duplex and flow control as needed. To expand the network, use the MDI uplink port to cascade additional switches.

Recommendations

Install the switch in a dry, dust-free environment with adequate airflow. Use quality Ethernet cables and connect critical servers to ports where IEEE 802.3x flow control is supported for improved reliability. For larger deployments, cascade multiple switches via the uplink port while monitoring network topology to avoid loops.
