Product overview

The Netgear GS324P is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch designed for small business and office environments requiring Power over Ethernet capability. It features 16 PoE+ ports with a 190W total power budget, supporting up to 30W per port with automatic power balancing based on device requirements. The switch delivers 48 Gb/s switching bandwidth and 1.44 Mpps forwarding rate with non-blocking architecture for wire-speed performance. All 24 ports support Gigabit speeds with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX functionality, eliminating crossover cable requirements. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption, while the 8K MAC address table and 192 KB packet buffer ensure reliable operation. The fanless design supports both desktop and rackmount deployment, making it ideal for powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-compatible devices in cost-effective network infrastructure.

How many PoE devices can the GS324P power simultaneously?

The GS324P supports up to 16 PoE+ devices with a 190W total budget. Maximum simultaneous devices depends on power consumption: six 30W devices (cameras/APs), or more lower-power devices (phones at 6-13W). The auto-balancing feature optimizes allocation, allowing mixed-power devices without manual configuration.

What is the maximum power per PoE port?

Each of the 16 PoE+ ports supports up to 30W per port, compliant with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard. The 190W total budget is shared across all active PoE ports. Auto-balancing ensures devices receive required power without exceeding total budget limits.

Does the GS324P require management or configuration?

No. The GS324P is an unmanaged switch requiring zero configuration. All ports auto-negotiate speed (10/100/1000 Mbps), auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates crossover cables, and PoE power auto-balances per device. Simply plug in and connect devices—ideal for small offices without IT staff.

What is the total switching bandwidth and forwarding rate?

The GS324P delivers 48 Gb/s non-blocking switching bandwidth with a 1.44 Mpps forwarding rate (using 64-byte packets). This ensures all 24 ports can simultaneously transmit and receive at full Gigabit speeds without congestion or packet loss.

Can the GS324P be mounted in a rack?

Yes. The GS324P supports both desktop and rackmount deployment. Rackmount hardware is included in the box. Dimensions are 330 x 206 x 43 mm (13 x 8.1 x 1.7 in.), weighing 2.44 kg (5.38 lb), fitting standard 19-inch racks.

What energy-saving features does the GS324P include?

The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) with auto power-down and short cable detection. These features automatically reduce power consumption based on link status and cable length, lowering operational costs in 24/7 deployments.

What devices are compatible with the PoE+ ports?

The 16 PoE+ ports power any IEEE 802.3at-compliant device: IP security cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, IP intercoms, and other PoE-powered devices. The auto-balancing feature supports mixed-power devices without manual configuration or power class detection issues.
