Netgear JFS524 24-Port 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch

Affordable Network Capacity

Need a quantum leap in office network capability? NETGEAR delivers a cost-effective solution––the JFS524. This unmanaged 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet switch provides expanded connectivity for small office networks so users no longer have to compete with each other for bandwidth. All of the essential features – automatic speed and full/half duplex sensing, 200 Mbps throughput per port, Auto Uplink™ – are included, but at an economical price that a value-conscious business owner can’t ignore.

Frugal

Twenty-four ports of speed and capacity at a modest price, with no compromising on quality––that’s what you can expect from NETGEAR’s hardworking JFS524.

Skillful

Switched 10/100 Mbps ports provide private bandwidth for PCs, servers, or hubs, and support 200 Mbps of throughput. Each port delivers 200 Mbps of network speed in full-duplex mode.

Alert

Ever-vigilant, the JFS524 begins to operate as soon as it’s powered on – with no configuration required. All 24 ports deliver automatic speed and full/half duplex sensing, plus Auto Uplink™, which adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables to make the right link.

Obliging

This rugged metal unit is conveniently compact for an uncluttered desktop or easy rack mounting. And it lets you easily intermix 10 and 100 Mbps devices within your unmanaged network.
