The Netgear GS524PP is a cost-effective and high-performance unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch des...The Netgear GS524PP is a cost-effective and high-performance unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to help your business seamlessly expand its network to Gigabit speeds and accommodate a higher number of connected devices. This switch features 24 Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ports, making it an ideal solution for powering a dense deployment of PoE-enabled devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and IoT devices. With a robust 300W total PoE power budget, the GS524PP allows you to connect more high-power PoE devices to a single switch, simplifying your network infrastructure. Key Features: 24 Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Provides high-speed, non-blocking Gigabit connectivity for all connected devices, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer. 24 PoE+ Ports (300W Total Power Budget): Supports the 802.3at PoE+ standard on all 24 ports. The GS516PP 16-port High-power PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch and the GS524PP 24-port High-power PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch join the NETGEAR Unmanaged switch family, adding full 16 and 24 port PoE+ support for flexible deployment of modern high-power PoE devices. Companies can now deploy denser PoE+ devices connected to a single switch instead of multiples with a total PoE power budget of 260W (GS516PP) and 300W (GS524PP). The quiet design makes the GS516PP and GS524PP ideal for any home or business environment. Simple set up with no software or configuration needed. Per port LEDs for port activity and speed. Energy efficient technology for power saving. Auto-negotiation for automatic connection at the highest common speed between switch and an end device. 16 or 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with up to 32 or 48Gb non-blocking switching. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables. Small, sturdy desktop metal case and quiet operation.
This guide is for businesses and IT professionals seeking a reliable and efficient way to expand their network with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities. The NETGEAR GS524PP offers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, allowing you to power devices like VoIP phones and IP cameras directly through the network cable, simplifying your infrastructure and reducing costs. Note that this is an unmanaged switch, so advanced network configuration options are not available.

FAQs
What is the maximum power budget for PoE+?
The GS524PP has a total PoE+ power budget of 300W.
Can I use this switch with devices that don't support PoE+?
Yes, you can connect non-PoE devices to the switch; they will function as standard Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Does this switch support VLANs?
No, the GS524PP is an unmanaged switch and does not support VLANs.
Is rack mounting hardware included?
Yes, rack-mounting hardware is included with the switch.
What is the warranty period?
Please consult your sales documentation for the warranty information.
What is the maximum cable length supported?
The switch supports standard Ethernet cable lengths up to 100 meters (328 feet).
How do I reset the switch?
As this is an unmanaged switch, there is no reset button. The switch operates automatically.
Troubleshooting
Device connected to a PoE+ port is not powering on.
Check the power budget of the switch. Make sure that the connected device does not exceed the 30W per port or 300W total budget. Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected. Try a different Ethernet cable. If the issue persists, the device might be faulty.
Network performance is slow.
Check the Ethernet cables and make sure they are Cat5e or Cat6 cables for Gigabit speeds. Check for any network loops or broadcast storms. Verify that all connected devices are operating at Gigabit speeds.
The switch is not powering on.
Check the power cord and ensure it is securely connected to the switch and a working power outlet. If the power cord is connected, check the power supply for any damage or malfunction.
PoE devices are intermittently losing power.
The power budget might be exceeded. Disconnect some PoE devices to reduce the power draw. Verify that the connected devices meet the PoE+ standard and are not drawing excessive power.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Simplified Deployment: PoE+ eliminates the need for individual power outlets for each device.
Cost-Effective: Reduces cabling costs and eliminates the need for separate power supplies.
High Performance: Gigabit speeds ensure fast and reliable data transfer.
Easy to Use: Unmanaged design allows for simple plug-and-play setup.
Scalable: Easily expand your network with additional PoE+ devices.
Reliable: Built to last with a robust metal housing.
Limited Configuration: No options for VLANs, QoS, or other advanced settings.
Power Budget Limitation: The 300W budget must be considered when connecting multiple power-hungry PoE+ devices.
No 10G Support: Does not support 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
No stacking capabilities: Cannot be stacked with other switches for increased port density or redundancy.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Unpacking: Carefully remove the switch from the packaging and inspect for any damage.
Rack Mounting: Use the provided rack-mounting kit to secure the switch in a standard 19-inch rack (if applicable).
Connecting Devices: Connect your network devices (computers, servers, etc.) and PoE+ devices (IP phones, cameras, etc.) to the RJ-45 ports using Ethernet cables.
Powering On: Connect the power supply to the switch and plug it into a power outlet. The switch will power on automatically.
Compatibility: The GS524PP is compatible with devices that support the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard. It is also compatible with devices that support Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000). Ensure the devices you are connecting support these standards.
Care: Keep the switch in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight. Clean the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
