16 and 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switches
DGS-1016D and DGS-1024D
Product Highlights
Overview
The D-Link 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switch and the 24-
Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop or Rackmount Switch each oer an economical
way for SOHO and small to medium businesses (SMB) to deploy an energy-ecient
switch that features the increased bandwidth of Gigabit ports.
Gigabit on Every Port
These switches bring the speed of Gigabit Ethernet to each and every port for
a truly high-speed network. If your network has a mix of legacy and modern
computing capabilities, each port allows for 10Mbps standard Ethernet, 100 Mbps
Fast Ethernet, or 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet connections. You have the latest
technology available to every computer and device connected to your network.
Conserves Energy
The DGS-1016D and DGS-1024D help you conserve energy automatically through
several methods. They automatically power down ports that have no link, saving
substantial amounts of power by cutting power usage for unused ports or any
ports connected to computers that have been shut down.
Easy to Install and Maintain
These switches were designed for Plug-and-Play and hassle-free installation.
Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables
when connecting to another switch or hub. Auto-negotiation on each port senses
the link speed of a network device and intelligently adjusts for compatibility
and optimal performance. Diagnostic LEDs and cable diagnostics allow for quick
detection and correction of network problems.
