Expand a wired LAN with 24 auto-negotiating Gigabit RJ45 connections for workstations, printers, access points, IP endpoints, and uplinks to existing network equipment. The unmanaged operating model forwards traffic without requiring switch configuration, while auto MDI/MDIX supports either straight-through or crossover Ethernet patching. Support for 802.3x flow control in full-duplex operation and backpressure in half-duplex operation helps regulate traffic when connected devices operate at different rates. TP-Link Omada TL-SG1024S provides a 48 Gbps switching capacity and forwards up to 35.7 Mpps, allowing all 24 ports to operate at Gigabit Ethernet rates. Its 8K MAC address table learns attached device addresses automatically, and support for 10,000-byte jumbo frames accommodates larger Ethernet frames used by compatible storage, server, and workstation environments. The switch has an internal 100 to 240 VAC power supply rather than an external power brick. A metal chassis, passive cooling, and a maximum 13.1 W power draw suit installations where fan noise and heat output need to remain low. The enclosure is 1U rack-mountable for standard 19-inch equipment racks, while its 11.6-inch width also supports desktop placement in a network closet, office, classroom, or branch location. Status indicators provide at-a-glance operating and port activity visibility.
