Silver rack-mount switch with 24 ports and 4 SFP+ cages

Netgear Inc.

Netgear Inc. MS324TXUP-100NAS 24-port 2.5G PoE++ network switch with 4 SFP+

SKU CH-49FB-5J7QK MPN MS324TXUP-100NAS

24-port 2.5G PoE++ smart switch with 4 SFP+ uplinks for high-density multi-gig access points and devices

  • 24 ports deliver 2.5G speeds over existing Cat5E cabling
  • 60W PoE++ per port powers demanding WiFi 6E access points
  • 324W total PoE budget supports full 24-port deployment
  • 4 SFP+ uplinks provide 10G fibre aggregation
  • L2+ and Lite L3 features simplify network management

24-port 2.5G PoE++ smart switch

The Netgear MS324TXUP-100NAS is a 24-port Multi-Gigabit smart switch designed for businesses that need to move beyond 1Gb network speeds. It provides 2.5G connectivity to wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP endpoints without requiring a full cabling overhaul. The switch delivers Ultra60 PoE++ power on every port for demanding devices. It suits IT teams managing growing BYOD environments and cloud-based workloads.

Uplink constraint with four SFP+ ports

Four SFP+ ports supply 10G uplinks, so total upstream capacity is limited to the number of modules installed. Aggregating multiple 2.5G access links into a single 10G uplink can create congestion when many devices transmit simultaneously. The switch relies on these SFP+ connections for stacking or core-switch links, so uplink planning must account for peak multi-gig traffic. Cat5E cabling is sufficient for the 2.5G copper ports, but fibre uplinks need separate transceivers.

Ultra60 PoE++ budget of 324 watts

The 324-watt PoE budget is the single figure that determines whether this switch can power your full device fleet. Each port can supply up to 60 watts, yet the shared pool means 24 simultaneous Ultra60 devices would exceed the budget. Buyers who need full 60-watt delivery on every port at once cannot meet that need with this model. Calculate the actual draw of every PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ endpoint before committing to this unit.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 24 copper ports and the 4 SFP+ ports for my devices?

The 24 copper ports run at 2.5 Gbps over Cat5e and deliver up to 60 W PoE++ per port for access points, cameras and VoIP phones, while the 4 SFP+ ports accept 10 Gbps fibre or copper modules for uplinks to core switches or servers.

What does the 2.5 Gbps rating mean once the switch is installed in a real network?

Each copper port negotiates 100 M, 1 G or 2.5 G speeds automatically, so existing Cat5e cabling can carry 2.5 Gbps without rewiring, giving WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E access points the backhaul bandwidth they need.

What standard governs the SFP+ ports and what throughput does it cap in practice?

The four SFP+ ports follow the 10 Gbps SFP+ specification, so each uplink is limited to 10 Gbps regardless of the module or cable used.
