From the Manufacturer
Simple. Easy. Efficient. The Cisco SF 100-24 24-Port 10/100 Switch, a Cisco Small Business Unmanaged Switch, offers the performance and ease of use you need to connect your business. It’s extremely easy to deploy the switch into a new or preexisting network configuration, giving you a quick path for connecting up to 24 individual devices with wired, Fast Ethernet speeds. Increase the size of your network by adding on new computers or access points, or expand the reach of your servers and network-attached-storage to remote locations in your business.

24 Fast Ethernet ports on the front of the switch deliver the connectivity and stability that your small business needs demand.

The Cisco SF 100-24 24-port 10/100 Switch avoids complicated installation procedures or technical configurations: It simply works.

Uncomplicated Installation
Because it works straight out-of-the-box, requiring no additional software, the switch allows employees of all technical abilities to successfully integrate it into a typical small business network. Transferring files and sharing multimedia elements between devices becomes a reliable, smooth experience for systems connected via the 24-port switch. In addition, integrated Quality-of-Service (QoS) control mechanisms improve the transfer quality of essential network information—such as video teleconferencing or voice-based transmissions—without sacrificing your business’s ability to perform typical network functions.
Automatic Adjustments
In addition to its automated Quality of Service functionality, the Cisco SF 100-24 24-Port 10/100 Switch comes provisioned for auto-switching Ethernet capability. This allows the switch to automatically sense the speeds of connected network devices and deliver a traditional Ethernet or Fast Ethernet connection, depending on the compatibility needs of legacy products. Similarly, automated MDI and MDI-X cable detection eliminates the need for crossover cables when using the switch. Installations run smoother when integrating the switch into an older network architecture that relies on a mix of uplink ports and regular hubs to make connections between devices; you can use either standard, straight-through Ethernet cables, or crossover cabling to connect devices to the switch.

Quality-of-Service controls ensure that your business's critical network traffic runs high-priority overtop your normal network operations.

Rackmount or Desktop Installation
The Cisco SF 100-24 24-Port 10/100 Switch includes a rackmount kit that allows you to deploy the switch to an available space in your preexisting IT environment. Because that’s not always an option for a traditional small business, the switch is compact enough to fit on an average desktop. For the small business with limited space, this is an excellent way to build increased network functionality into your business without having to deal with messy infrastructure modifications or complicated installation routines.
Quick Network Troubleshooting
Another benefit to locating the switch in an easily accessible environment is that the lights on the front of the device correspond to the network status of the 24 available ports. A visual analysis of your network activity allows you to quickly assess situations that might need troubleshooting, including inoperable devices or sudden outages from a specific device or cluster of systems. The switch also comes with a limited lifetime warranty that gives you peace-of-mind assurance and helps prevent costly downtime for your business’s key operations.
