Get instant connectivity and outstanding performance with the NetGear ProSafe JGS524 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Suitable for laboratory setups, school departments, workgroups, and growing offices, this rackmount device offers a stable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient switching solution for your network. Add to this is the convenience of not having to configure anything to make this unit operational. You do not have to worry about installing software or downloading drivers. This plug-and-play gigabit switch works right out-of-the-box. Just plug it into a power source, turn it on, connect your devices and enjoy a high-speed local area network (LAN) within minutes. Unlike wireless networks, which can be prone to security risks and are more expensive to implement and manage, wired connections provide greater reliability and faster data transfer rates for a LAN. Plus, Ethernet cabling can extend up to 330 feet without any loss in transmission quality. This is ideal when your devices can be placed close to the JGS524. Instead of going the Wi-Fi route, running a physical cable to connect your hardware to the switch is more beneficial. The JGS524 model comes from the NetGear ProSafe product series of gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switches. This high-density device includes 24 ports to give you plenty of connectivity options. Link up to 24 devices to your LAN, including desktop computers, printers, gaming consoles, servers, and storage, with each port capable of delivering data at 10 times the speed of fast Ethernet or up to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). At full-duplex mode, this unit is even faster, with connection speeds at up to 2,000 Mbps. Integrated with auto-switching and auto-sensing mechanisms, each port automatically detects the appropriate setting for an attached device to provide maximum performance. Coupled with the auto uplink technology, this gigabit switch instantly adjusts the type of Ethernet cable to use for the connected device, whether straight through or crossover. Compliant with several standards defined by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), this 24-port NetGear device is 802.3x-compliant, which provides support for automatic flow control to manage network traffic. Additionally, this gigabit unit has built-in quality of service, which facilitates voice and video prioritization to ensure bandwidth-intensive applications get higher priority than low-bandwidth tasks. Enjoy optimum performance when streaming high-definition movies, downloading large files, video conferencing, making Internet calls, or playing online games. This NetGear ProSafe product also provides support for the IEEE 802.3az networking standard for energy-efficient Ethernet. Reduce power consumption at up to 50 percent lower than your traditional usage. It comes with an auto power-down mode that instantly disables unused ports to save on electricity. It also includes an auto green setting that automatically identifies cable length and regulates power delivery to networked devices. What’s more, NetGear uses recycled materials for this unit’s packaging. You do not only save on energy costs, but you also get to protect the environment. Housed in a sturdy metal enclosure, this unit comes with a Kensington locking slot as an anti-theft precaution. With its compact design, it also saves space and can be placed on a desktop or mounted on the wall using the included mounting kit. Compatible with Unix, Linux, Mac, and PC operating systems, the NetGear ProSafe JGS524 24-port gigabit Ethernet unmanaged rackmount switch is a smart switching solution that offers long-lasting performance.
