Proposed Unmanaged 24 Ports Switches

  • Cisco SF 100-24 (Fast Ethernet)

  • TP-LINK TL-SF 1024D (Fast Ethernet)
  • D-Link DGS-1024D (Gigabit Ethernet)

Confirm Switch
TP-LINK TL-SF 1024D (Fast Ethernet) - RM120

  • Plug and Play
  • MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) / MDIX (MDI Crossover) (No need worry on cable type)
  • Can save up to 70% energy
  • 80% packaging can be recycled
  • 10/100 Mbps
  • Comply with EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance)
  • Quite / Fanless Design
  • 4.8 Gbps / 614.4 Mbps Switch capacity
  • 24 / 7 global technical support
  • Uses TP-LINK Green Technology

Why Cisco and D-Link not selected
  • Too pricey in terms of cost to performance / power saving ratio
  • Cisco did not provide much documentation on power usage compared to their higher end models
  • D-Link uses Gigabit Ethernet which is more than what the lab needs
