Review: Great FANLESS switch - updated from what desertcart shows - I just ordered one of these as part of a project to rack up and centralize my home network. Prior to this I had several switches in my basement daisy chained together. With this new D-Link switch I was able to rack this up with some nifty vertical rack arms and in conjunction with a 24 port patch panel and rack cable organizer get everything very nicely organized. The desertcart description for this switch is out of date. The current version of the product indicates that with the latest power supply it is up to 73% more efficient than similar non green D-link switches. Also worth noting is that the face plate on my unit is a silver color, not the white appearing face plate in the product photos. I connected this switch on my work bench with a Kill-A-Watt power meter and with nothing else connected this 24 port beast is sipping just 3 watts. With five gigabit devices it is using a miserly 7 watts. Even fully loaded, according to the specs this switch will not use more than about 19 watts. The switch has features that will throttle down power consumption based on device connection speed, cable distance and whether a port is active or not. All of this means that you can build out a very robust home network without leaving something running 24X7 that is consuming a lot of power. I was close to ordering the competing Netgear product (JGS524) however the Netgear has two fans in it (noisy and prone to failure) where as this D-Link switch is fanless! This is a big deal, as the fan is often the component that will go out over the long term with a product like this... not to mention the noise you will experience if you are anywhere near the device. The Netgear does have a "lifetime" warranty (and better warranty support) where as the D-Link has a 5 year warranty. With no moving parts, and if hooked up to high quality surge suppression the D-Link box should last for a very long time without problems. Performance with this switch is excellent, I get rocket fast transport between all of my devices. It's worth noting that this is an unmanaged switch so you cannot break your network up into VLANs or do cable diagnostics, etc, with this switch. For its purpose though of providing a super fast home or small office network it is offering a tremendous value. T Highly recommend it! Review: Good Switch - I have installed 4 of these switches. They are plug and play. The ones I have installed do not have a fan and are totally quiet. This unit runs very cool; it barely gets warm. The first one I installed was about a year ago, and I have had no problems. The switches are not managed, and if you need to set up virtual LANs you cannot do that. UPDATE 17 May 2013: Still have the 4 switches running, and no problems with them. Update Feb 25, 2014: I still have the 4 switches running, and have had no problems with them. I have never had any of these switches get hosed-up where I had to power them down to reset them. They just work. I have them powered from UPS back up power systems which probably helps with their reliability. Update March 31, 2015 I still have the 4 switches. Never have had a problem. I have them on a UPS and have never had one hose up since I first installed them. Update April 18, 2016 First switch installed in 2011 and all are still working with no problems. They are powered by UPS and never get glitches or need to be power cycled.

I rack mounted mine. **Q: Does this switch use a wall wart or is it a stock 110v power cord?** A: I never heard the term "wall wart" before. The cord is a conventional 110v power cable in North America. **Q: Can this be wall mounted with the hardware that is included?** A: Yes. The included mounting brackets can be used to mount to a 19-inch rack or a flat surface like a wall, tabletop or whatever. For wall mounting, rotate the brackets 90-degrees before screwing them to the unit. **Q: Good Night, it is product is managed?** A: I think he's asking if it's a managed switch and it's un-managed with Layer 2 only. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great FANLESS switch - updated from what Amazon shows *by J***E on May 20, 2010* I just ordered one of these as part of a project to rack up and centralize my home network.
