D-Link 24-Port 10/100Mbps Unmanaged Desktop Switch

Twenty-four devices. One switch. No setup required. The D-Link DES-1024A unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch gives growing offices and busy networks the port capacity they need — with the same plug-and-play simplicity that makes D-Link switching the go-to choice for SOHO and SMB users across Kenya.

Product Details

The D-Link DES-1024A is a 24-port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet unmanaged desktop switch built for small to medium businesses and expanding office networks. All twenty-four ports are auto-sensing — negotiating speed automatically between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX without manual input. Auto MDI/MDIX on every port means any standard straight-through Cat5 cable connects directly to computers, printers, servers, NAS drives, or other switches without crossover cables. IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss during traffic peaks. D-Link Green Technology automatically powers down idle and disconnected ports, reducing energy consumption without affecting active connections. The compact plastic housing fits cleanly on any desktop surface.

D-Link DES-1024A Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switch: Why It Stands Out

D-Link DES-1024A Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switch Scales Your Network Instantly

When your team grows, your network needs to grow with it. The DES-1024A adds twenty-four wired ports in one compact unit — no managed switch complexity, no software installation, no network training required. Every port auto-negotiates speed and detects cable type automatically. Plug in a computer, a printer, an IP camera, or a VoIP phone — each device gets a stable, dedicated Fast Ethernet connection within seconds of connecting.

D-Link DES-1024A Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switch Keeps Every Connection Reliable

IEEE 802.3x flow control monitors each port in real time. When a port’s buffer nears capacity during high-traffic periods, the switch signals the sending device to pause — preventing dropped packets before they occur. This keeps file transfers clean, shared internet connections stable, and VoIP calls uninterrupted across all twenty-four ports simultaneously. For busy offices where multiple users depend on the same network, this level of traffic management makes a real difference throughout the working day.

D-Link DES-1024A Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Switch Cuts Energy Costs Automatically

D-Link Green Technology detects ports with no active link and powers them down without any manual action — reducing energy waste across unused connections throughout the day. The switch also calibrates power output based on connected cable length, using only the power each connection actually requires. RoHS and WEEE compliant, it is built from materials that minimise environmental impact and ships in fully recyclable packaging — a sensible, responsible choice for any business.

Who Uses This Switch

Growing SMEs and Office Networks — Businesses expanding their teams use the DES-1024A to connect all workstations, printers, and shared devices in one clean wired network — without the cost and complexity of a managed switch.

Schools and Training Institutions — Computer labs across Kenya rely on 24-port switches to keep every student workstation connected simultaneously with consistent, lag-free performance throughout the school day.

Hotels and Hospitality Businesses — Guesthouses, hotels, and conference centres use the DES-1024A to connect back-office computers, POS terminals, CCTV recorders, and IP phones through a single, hands-off switch.

IT Installers and Structured Cabling Projects — Network technicians deploying wired infrastructure in small commercial buildings specify the DES-1024A for its port density, energy efficiency, and zero-configuration simplicity.
