- Reduces need for multiple switches
- Simplifies cable management
Fiber Expansion Ready
The two SFP slots enable fiber optic connections for extending network reach beyond copper limitations, ideal for connecting separate buildings or floors.
- Extends network distance
- Reduces electromagnetic interference
- Supports high-bandwidth applications
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is well-suited for office networks, retail environments, and small business deployments where reliable switching and basic management features are required. Its dual form factor supports both rack-mounted installations in wiring closets and desktop placement in open office areas.
Common applications include connecting workstations and servers in a small office, supporting VoIP phone systems with Power over Ethernet (though PoE is not specified in this model), and serving as an aggregation switch for multiple access points in a wireless network.
Office Network Core
Deploy as the main switch in a small office, connecting computers, network printers, and NAS devices with Gigabit speeds for fast file transfers and backup operations.
Network Expansion Node
Use the SFP uplinks to connect to a central switch or router via fiber, extending the network to remote offices or different floors while maintaining high performance.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 1.73 inches high, 17.32 inches wide, and 8.19 inches deep, fitting standard 19-inch racks with the included mounting brackets. Its compact 1U height maximizes rack space efficiency, while the 6.84-pound weight ensures easy handling during installation. The steel construction provides durability, and the front-panel LED indicators offer at-a-glance status monitoring for power, link activity, and speed.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 17.32" (439.93 mm), 8.19" (208.03 mm), 6.84 lb (3102.57 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The Tripp Lite NGS24C2POE provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to 24 network devices such as computers, printers, IP cameras, or access points. The two additional uplink ports can be used for connecting to other switches or routers, expanding your network further without using the main 24 ports for uplink purposes.
Does this switch support fiber optic connections?
Yes, this switch includes two SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots that support fiber optic transceivers. You can install compatible SFP modules to connect via single-mode or multi-mode fiber, enabling longer-distance connections up to several kilometers compared to copper Ethernet cables. This is ideal for linking separate buildings or extending your network backbone.
What management features does this Layer 2 switch offer?
As a Layer 2 managed switch, the NGS24C2POE supports features such as VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration for segmenting network traffic, QoS (Quality of Service) for prioritizing critical applications, port mirroring for monitoring, and STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) for preventing network loops. Management can be performed via a web interface or command-line interface, giving network administrators control over traffic flow and security.
Can this switch be mounted in a server rack?
Yes, the switch is designed for 1U rack mounting and includes two rack-mounting brackets and screws for installation in standard 19-inch server racks. Its dimensions of 1.73" H x 17.32" W x 8.19" D ensure a compact fit. Alternatively, the included rubber feet allow for desktop placement if rack space is not available, providing flexibility for different deployment scenarios.
What type of Ethernet cables does this switch support?
The switch supports standard twisted pair Ethernet cables (Cat5e, Cat6, or higher) for connections up to 100 meters per port. It also supports optical fiber cables when used with SFP modules in the expansion slots. The auto-MDI/MDIX feature on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables, allowing you to use straight-through cables for any connection.
What is the warranty period for this switch?
Tripp Lite by Eaton provides a 5-year limited warranty for the NGS24C2POE Ethernet switch. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, offering long-term reliability assurance for business deployments.
