Unmanaged rackmountable Switch

[speckytecky]

Anyone got a recommendation for a good reliable unmanaged rackmountable 24 port switch please.

[StewartKnight]

NetGear do good reliable switches, and best of all..... they're cheap!

Depends if you want 1000Mbps or just 10/100Mbps - I'd definitely second Stewarts Netgear recommendation, but also add D-Link to the cheap workhorse list.

 

If you're just after 10/100, the D-Link DES-1024R+ - 24 Port 10/100Mbps Rack Mount Switch goes for about £80 including VAT.

 

If you need 1000Mbs, have a look at the Netgear JGS524T - goes for about £230 inc VAT. Cheap and cheerful version of the GS524T apparently.

Allied Telesyn aren't bad either. Linksys switches do the job. At that sort of level I've found that they're all much of a muchness.

I have got a nice Netgear in the staff work room which works rather well. Its got more features than you need but it was still very cheap.

Netgear's a good choice, I've never been disapointed by the netgear stuff i've had.

 

Although have a look into the PowerConnect switches Dell do. Their 24 port 10/100 unmanaged switches start at £56! and that's before any educational discount!

Another vote here for Netgear. The NETGEAR JFS524 can be had for under £60.00

[Guest richard]

All our switches here are Netgear and I've had no problems with them at all.

I use two JGS524Ts' and have no complaints whatsoever.

Thanks for all the prompt and very useful replies folks.

Netgears for me as well, but have used AT as well.

[CM786]

Also have Netgear

[Geoff]

The 'Dabsvalue' ones from dabs.com.

[john]

Are they netgear at present? I have had some Dabsvalue stuff that was netgear as well as Belkin in the past.

[Geoff]

'NetVin' IIRC.
