Description
The D‑Link DES‑1024D is a 24‑port unmanaged Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) network switch designed for small office/home office (SOHO) and small‑to‑medium business (SMB) network environments. It provides simple plug‑and‑play connectivity with auto‑sensing RJ‑45 ports, making it easy to expand wired devices without requiring configuration or management software. The switch supports store‑and‑forward switching, auto‑negotiation (half/full duplex), and auto MDI/MDIX, allowing each port to automatically select the best settings for connected devices.
