The 24-port D-Link DES-1024D unmanaged switch is the latest addition to D-Link’s popular line of Express EtherNetwork products. Like other products in the line, the DES-1024D combines ease of use with unsurpassed performance resulting in an exceptional value for any cost-conscious network administrator who wants the best possible solution at the best possible price.

The DES-1024D is truly Plug-&-Play with features like: Auto Speed Sensing — allowing it to automatically sense whether a network device is running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps then automatically adjusting itself for optimal performance; Auto-Negotiation (Full or Half Duplex) — negotiating and running the highest supported transmission rate whether at Half- or Full-Duplex; and Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover —offering auto-negotiating MDI/MDIX detection on every port to eliminate the need for crossover cables or uplink ports.

The DES-1024D features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture with a 4.8Gbps switching capacity, for maximum data throughput. It also features an integrated universal power supply, and per port diagnostics LEDs that make it easy to “spot check� for problems. With wire-speed filtering and Store-and-Forward switching, the DES-1024D also maximizes network performance while minimizing the propagation of bad network packets.

Each DES-1024D includes free technical support and is backed by a limited 5-year warranty. Support materials include documentation in Acrobat pdf, FAQs, an installation guide, and a product manual.

This intelligent, easy-to-use 10/100BASE-T switch will enhance and compliment any existing network infrastructure and deliver the performance that IT managers and other SMB network administrators demand.
