6-Port Multi-Gig Switch for Home Labs
The NETGEAR ProSafe GT-ST024 delivers four 2.5G Base-T ports and two 10G SFP+ slots in a fanless metal chassis. It provides 60Gbps switching capacity and a 44.64Mpps forwarding rate for high-speed local traffic. The unmanaged design requires no configuration, making it suited for enthusiasts expanding a home or small-office network.
Silent Operation Limits Heavy Uplink Loads
Buyers who need completely silent operation will appreciate the passively cooled metal shell that dissipates heat without a fan. Those requiring managed features such as VLANs, SNMP or link aggregation should look elsewhere, as this model is strictly unmanaged. The SFP+ ports may not support specialised GPON or XGSPON modules from certain ISPs, so fibre-to-the-home uplink scenarios should be verified first.
External 12V Supply and Wall-Mount Kit Included
A 12V DC power adapter is bundled, drawing under 1.3W at idle and below 12W at full load. Non-slip feet and integrated mounting holes allow desktop or wall installation without extra hardware. No SFP+ transceivers, DAC or AOC cables are supplied, so uplink media must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item
What type of SFP+ modules or cables do I need for the two 10G uplink ports?
The 10G SFP+ slots accept 10M, 100M, 1G, 2.5G and 10G speeds and work with GoodTop RJ45 copper modules, optical fibre SFP+ modules, 10G DAC and AOC cables; GPON or XGSPON modules from some ISPs may not be supported.
Will my existing 1G and 100M devices connect to the four 2.5G Base-T ports?
Yes, each 2.5G port auto-negotiates down to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps and supports Auto MDI/MDIX so legacy devices link without crossover cables.
How can I confirm the switch is delivering its rated 60Gbps switching capacity after installation?
The front-panel LEDs show link and activity per port; sustained throughput at line rate across all six ports with 9216-byte jumbo frames indicates the 60Gbps fabric and 44.64Mpps forwarding rate are operating as specified.
