TP-Link LS1024G network switch Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Black

The TP-Link LS1024G Unmanaged Switch is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to upgrade existing networks to 1000 Mbps. It offers a switching capacity of 48 Gbit/s and an 8000-entry MAC address table while supporting common IEEE 802.3 standards. The device is plug-and-play, black in colour, and intended for reliable wired connectivity in home and small office environments.

Advantages

The LS1024G delivers full Gigabit speeds on all 24 RJ-45 ports with auto MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need to select crossover or straight-through cables. As an unmanaged switch it requires no configuration, enabling quick installation. With energy-efficient technology the switch reduces power consumption compared with older models, providing a cost- and energy-conscious upgrade path.

Suitable for

• Upgrading home or small office networks to Gigabit speeds
• Providing additional wired ports for desktop PCs and networked devices
• Basic network expansion where no management features are required

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 × Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) RJ-45
• Switching capacity: 48 Gbit/s
• MAC address table: 8000 entries
• Switch type: Unmanaged
• Networking standards: IEEE 802.3, 802.3ab, 802.3i, 802.3p, 802.3u, 802.3x

How to use

Place the switch on a stable, well-ventilated surface and connect its power adapter to a grounded outlet. Connect network devices to any of the 24 RJ-45 ports using standard Ethernet cables; the auto MDI/MDIX function removes the need to choose cable types. The switch is unmanaged and requires no setup—connected devices will negotiate speed automatically. Monitor port link/activity LEDs to verify connections.

Recommendations

The LS1024G is recommended for straightforward, unmanaged network expansion. For environments that require VLANs, QoS configuration, remote monitoring or 10G uplinks, consider a managed switch or a model with higher uplink speed. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid mounting the device near heat sources to maintain reliable operation.
