Model GS524

  • 24 ports connect wired devices at up to 1000Mbps each
  • 48Gbps non-blocking switching fabric keeps traffic flowing without congestion
  • Auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X give instant plug-and-play setup
  • Energy Efficient Ethernet cuts power draw to a maximum of 12W
  • Wall-mountable 43mm metal chassis fits tight spaces and runs silently

24-port Gigabit unmanaged switch

The Netgear GS524 provides twenty-four RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate 10, 100 or 1000Mbps connections. It is built for small offices, classrooms or home labs that need simple, fanless expansion without configuration software.

Before ordering, check power and mounting

The unit runs on 100-240VAC at 50 or 60Hz and draws a maximum of 12W, so a standard mains socket is sufficient. Verify you have 328mm of horizontal space and 43mm of vertical clearance for the included wall or rackmount brackets.

Fanless thermals and low power draw

With no moving parts the switch operates silently in normal use. The 12W ceiling keeps heat output minimal, while IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces consumption further when links are idle.

Questions about this item

Does the GS524-300NAS come with everything needed to mount it on a wall or rack, or do I need to buy brackets separately?

The box includes the 24-port switch, a power cord, an installation guide, and a wall/rackmount kit so no extra brackets are required.

The spec sheet lists a 48 Gbps switching bandwidth — what does that mean for each of the 24 ports in practice?

The 48 Gbps total is non-blocking, giving every port up to 2000 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth in full-duplex operation.

With a maximum power draw of 12 W, will this switch add noticeable heat or noise to a small office cabinet?

At 12 W maximum consumption and fanless operation, the GS524 runs cool and silent even when all 24 ports are active.
