Network Switch Edimax GS-1024 Gigabit Ethernet 24 Ports

The Edimax GS-1024 Gigabit Ethernet 24 Ports is a 24‑port unmanaged network switch that provides high‑speed Gigabit connectivity for home, small office and enterprise environments. The switch supports IEEE networking standards and delivers a switching capacity of 48 Gbit/s, enabling faster file transfers and expanded wired network capacity without configuration.

Advantages

Delivers up to full‑duplex Gigabit throughput per port and supports IEEE 802.1p QoS to prioritise voice and video traffic, reducing packet loss, latency and jitter. Implements IEEE 802.3x flow control, auto‑negotiation, auto‑MDI/MDI‑X and store‑and‑forward architecture to filter fragment and CRC error packets for reliable, wire‑speed forwarding. Complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet for reduced power consumption and supports desktop, wall‑mount or rack‑mount installation without any software setup.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Expanding wired network ports in small offices and workgroups
• Connecting servers, workstations and networked storage for faster file transfers
• Wiring meeting rooms, IP phones and video conferencing equipment
• Providing reliable Gigabit uplinks in racks or on desktop deployments

How to use

Place the Edimax GS-1024 on a desktop, mount it on a wall or install it in a rack. Connect the switch to your router or upstream switch using a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable, then connect devices to the remaining RJ‑45 ports. The switch is plug‑and‑play and requires no software or configuration; it will auto‑negotiate link speed and apply flow control and QoS priorities where supported by connected devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance use Cat5e or Cat6 cables, connect servers and NAS devices to dedicated Gigabit ports, and ensure connected endpoints support IEEE 802.1p for effective QoS handling. Allow adequate ventilation and avoid placing the unit in confined, high‑temperature locations.
