Edimax's ES-5824P switch is a superb choice for boosting your medium to large network's performance and efficiency. The 24-port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Web Smart Switch with 2 Gigabit Combo Ports is designed to seriously strengthen the network connection of your network environment. The 19" switch (including rack-mount brackets) will fit neatly into your existing rack environment.
 
Complies with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports
Edimax's ES-5824P features 24 IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+) ports that supply up to 30 watts of electricity per port. It can convert standard 100~240V/AC power into low-voltage DC that runs over existing LAN cables to supply power to IEEE 802.3at compliant network accessories. The Edimax ES-5824P features PoE+ device detection to verify whether individual, connected devices are IEEE 802.3at compliant or not, so only data will be sent via the LAN cable if the device is not a PoE or PE device. Various PoE products such as Access Points, IP cameras or IP phones are easily connected to the switch, making it the perfect solution when power outlets are difficult to install or existing power outlets are too far from devices.
 
No Special Networking Cable Required
Reduce your installation time and cost by using a standard Cat-5 Ethernet cable to link between the Edimax ES-5824P switch and powered devices (PD). The Ethernet cable will then transmit both data and power, so you won't need all those extra power cables to your powered devices (PD).

Supports Smart Features
Edimax's ES-5824P Web Smart features put you in control of your network and offers extra protection on the network edge. It can be managed through a Web Browser and smart features include everything from simple QoS/CoS applications and basic monitoring tools to improve network efficiency, to a remote access password-protected configuration interface for the IT manager's mobility and IGMP snooping to reduce broadcast traffic from streaming and other bandwidth intensive IP applications. The ES-5824P also supports bandwidth control and port based VLAN, so an administrator can set up VLANs to segregate traffic, QoS to prioritize mission-critical data and link aggregation to create fat traffic pipelines.
 
Performance and Scalability
The ES-5824P is high performance architecture of switch that is capable to provide the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
There are two Gigabit Ethernet combo ports for uplink flexibility, allowing copper or fiber uplinks.
