Take Gigabit to the Desktop and
Expand Wired Connectivity

NETGEAR 300 Series Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switches provide easy, reliable, and affordable network connectivity for small

and medium ofces. With these unmanaged plug-and-play switches, you can expand your network connections to multiple devices
instantly. The GS324P/GS324PP with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) provides power and data from a single Ethernet cable to devices such
as IP cameras, VoIP/Internet-based phones, wireless access points, etc.

Highlights

• Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need

for crossover cables

• LED indicators for ease of use

• Energy-efcient technology for

power savings

• Auto-negotiation for automatic

connection at the highest common
speed between switch and an end
device

• Non-blocking switching architecture

for maximum throughput at wire speed
