The NETGEAR JGS524 is a 24-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered for small to medium-sized business networks requiring straightforward, cost-effective capacity expansion. This fanless, metal-housed 1U rack-mount device delivers 48 Gbps switching capacity with store-and-forward forwarding and minimal latency across all port speeds. No configuration required—plug-and-play deployment with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX on every port. Power consumption peaks at 40 W, operating across 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz input.
