Tripp Lite by Eaton 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch with 2 SFP Ports

For homes, small offices, and creative studios that demand reliable connectivity without the complexity of managed switches, the Tripp Lite by Eaton 24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch is a robust solution. This 1U rack-mountable, desktop-friendly switch packs dense port density into a compact metal chassis, delivering high-speed Ethernet across every connection while offering flexible uplinks through two Gigabit SFP ports. It’s engineered for plug-and-play deployment straight out of the box, meaning you can expand your network instantly without configuring VLANs, QoS, or security policies. Whether you’re streaming 4K media, backing up large files to a NAS, or running multiple workstations in a shared editing suite, this switch accelerates data transfer and reduces bottlenecks across your local network. The built-in metal housing ensures durability in busy work environments and supports both rack-mount and desktop installation, giving you the freedom to integrate it into your existing setup with minimal footprint. From home classrooms to small production studios, this switch is designed to scale with your needs while maintaining reliable, low-latency performance across 24 ports. In short, it’s a practical, no-fuss solution for expanding your LAN with professional-grade reliability and longevity.

• Dense 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switching with auto-negotiation on every port ensures each connected device communicates at its maximum capability, up to 1 Gbps per link, with seamless compatibility across older and newer hardware. The unmanaged design means you don't have to configure anything; simply plug in computers, printers, NAS, and smart devices and the switch will handle the rest, delivering reliable performance in real-world office and home networks. This makes it ideal for multi-device workspaces where people need fast, consistent access to shared resources, media libraries, and network-attached storage without the overhead of a complex management interface.
• Two Gigabit SFP uplink ports provide flexible connectivity options for core networks, servers, or storage arrays. Use fiber SFP modules for longer runs or copper-compatible SFPs for shorter distances, enabling you to extend your LAN beyond the reach of standard RJ-45 ports without extra switches. This feature is particularly valuable in compact studios or small offices where you want to centralize high-throughput devices like NAS devices, editing workstations, or server clusters while keeping cabling neat and scalable for future upgrades.
• 1U rack-mountable form factor combined with a sturdy metal housing makes it suitable for equipment racks and busy desks. The compact footprint keeps cabling tidy, while the rugged construction withstands everyday use in a small office or creative studio environment. Whether you’re mounting in a front-panel rack or placing it on a workstation cart, this switch delivers dependable performance with a professional, clean appearance that matches other office gear.
• Plug-and-play convenience means no management interface, no software subscriptions, and no complex setup. This makes it ideal for teams that need rapid deployment, dependable connectivity, and straightforward troubleshooting—LED indicators give you clear visibility of link status and activity at a glance. You can connect printers, security cameras, media players, and multiple PCs or Macs with confidence that bandwidth is available where you need it most, without delays from misconfigured networks.
• Designed for reliability in dense networks, the 24-port switch supports steady, continuous operation with consistent throughput across all ports, making it a dependable backbone for shared storage, collaborative editing workflows, and multi-device workstations. The metal housing aids heat dissipation and longevity in busy environments, while the absence of required configuration reduces the risk of missteps during installation, ensuring your team stays focused on their work rather than IT setup.
