24-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch offers small and medium-sized
businesses an easy way to transition to Gigabit Ethernet. The
switch provides the administrator with basic functions such as
port mirroring, loopback detection and cable diagnostics. For
traffic optimization, VLAN (port and tag-based) is available.
Furthermore, port and tag-based VLAN improve security by
segmenting your network. In addition, the TL-SG1024DE's
innovative, energy-efficient technology saves up to 40% energy.
Simple and effective management TP-LINK's TL-SG1024DE Gigabit
Easy Smart Switch offers you various network monitoring options.
With port mirroring, loopback detection and cable diagnostics,
you can detect and even locate connection problems in your
network. You can also prioritize traffic based on port priority
and 802.1p priority to ensure that VoIP and video streaming are
always smooth and lag-free. To further improve security and
performance, the TL-SG1024DE supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN
and 802.1q-based VLAN. With its basic management features, the
Easy Smart Switch is located one level above the Unmanaged
Switches and offers great value at a similar price. Switch to
green with your Ethernet You now have the option to choose the
green path if you want to upgrade to a Gigabit network. This
24-port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch features the latest innovative,
energy-efficient technology that can significantly expand your
network capacity while reducing power consumption. The
TL-SG1024DE automatically adjusts power consumption according to
the link status and cable length to improve your network's carbon
footprint. Power down when ports are not active When a computer
or network device is turned off, the corresponding port of a
traditional switch continues to consume a significant amount of
power. The TL-SG1024DE automatically detects the link status of
each port and reduces the power consumption of those ports that
are idle. Power allocation according to cable length Ideally, a
shorter cable would consume less power because less energy is
lost over the length of the cable. This is not the case with most
devices as they send the same amount of energy across the cable,
regardless of its length. The TL-SG1024DE analyzes the length of
the connected Ethernet cable and adjusts the power allocation
accordingly instead of keeping power consumption at the level of
the conventional solution. Easy to use The automatic features of
this Gigabit switch make installation hassle-free thanks to plug
and play. No configuration is required. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates
the need for crossover cables. Auto tuning on each port detects
the connection speed of a device (10, 100 or 1000Mbps) and
intelligently adjusts to ensure compatibility and optimal
performance. In addition, dynamic LED indicators allow you to
monitor your network in real time. Specifications
Review: Good reasonably priced gigabit switch - This device was
needed for our office as we were relying on 5 port gigabit
switches daisy-chained together that really didn't do the job. I
looked around for a while to find this - the price was important,
but as was the easy of use. I needed something that everyone
could understand (i.e. just plug it in and it works) and this is
perfect. It does make a little bit of a noise but nothing any
louder than a normal computer - it's just a fan!! Overall I'd
recommend this product. It's very reasonably priced and works
great! UPDATE! This has now been running in our office for over a
year, think it might be 18 months now and it's still going
strong. The noise hasn't got any louder and it has just worked
the whole time. Good solid decent bit of kit.
Review: An excellent Gigabit ethernet rack mount switch - An
excellent Gigabit ethernet rack mount switch; technically it has
all the features you would expect, but at a price that is less
than its competitors! Easy to use - just plug it in - but works
without fuss; great for expanding an existing network or building
one from scratch. The only downside is that cage nuts and bolts
for mounting it in a rack are not included (though you do get the
brackets and fixings for converting it to rack mounting); if you
don't want to install it in a rack, then self-adhesive rubber
feet are also included for desktop use.
