Intellinet 24-Port Network Switch, 24-Port

Intellinet 24‑Port Web‑Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The Intellinet 560917 is a robust, rack‑mountable network switch designed for small to medium‑sized enterprises and advanced home networking. With 24 RJ45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and two optional SFP slots, it delivers high performance, flexibility, and comprehensive management features.

Key Design Highlights

• Compact 1U form factor – fits seamlessly into standard 19‑inch racks without consuming valuable space.
• Fanless architecture – operates quietly and reliably, ideal for office environments where noise is a concern.
• Durable metal housing – provides robust protection against dust, heat, and physical impact.
• Integrated rackmount brackets – allows quick installation or removal without additional hardware.

Port Configuration & Connectivity

• 24 × RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports – each capable of full duplex operation at 10/100/1000 Mbps, supporting high‑bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP, and file transfers.
• 2 × SFP (Small Form‑factor Pluggable) slots – enable fiber or copper uplinks for extended reach, redundancy, or link aggregation. The switch supports both 10/100/1000 Mbps SFP modules.
• Full duplex and auto‑negotiation – ensures optimal link performance without manual configuration.

Advanced Management Features

• Web‑based management interface – intuitive GUI for configuring VLANs, QoS policies, port settings, and monitoring traffic statistics.
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support – allows integration with network monitoring tools for real‑time alerts and performance analysis.
• Remote management capabilities – secure access via HTTPS or SSH, enabling administrators to configure the switch from anywhere on the network.
• Layer 2 switching intelligence – includes MAC address learning, forwarding tables, and loop prevention mechanisms such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

Quality of Service & Traffic Prioritization

• QoS (Quality of Service) policies – prioritize critical traffic like VoIP or video conferencing over less time‑sensitive data.
• Traffic shaping and policing – control bandwidth usage to prevent congestion and ensure fair distribution among users.
• VLAN (Virtual LAN) support – segment the network into logical groups, enhancing security and reducing broadcast domains.

Power Efficiency & Environmental Considerations

• Low power consumption – fanless design reduces energy usage compared to traditional ventilated switches.
• Passive cooling – metal chassis dissipates heat effectively, maintaining safe operating temperatures without active airflow.
• Compliance with industry standards – meets safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements for reliable operation in diverse environments.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• Enterprise LAN core or distribution layer – connects multiple access switches, servers, and storage devices within a building.
• Data center fabric switch – provides high‑density connectivity for virtualized workloads and cloud services.
• Branch office networking – offers a compact, quiet solution for connecting local devices to the corporate backbone via fiber uplinks.
• Advanced home or small business setups – supports high‑bandwidth applications while keeping noise and space usage minimal.

Technical Specifications Summary

Conclusion

The Intellinet 560917 delivers a blend of high‑performance networking, advanced management, and silent operation in a compact rack‑mount form. Its combination of Gigabit Ethernet ports, optional SFP uplinks, and comprehensive Layer 2 features makes it an excellent choice for organizations seeking reliable, scalable connectivity without compromising on space or noise levels.
