Network switch Extralink Zeus EX.1254 — 24x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports, unmanaged

Extralink Zeus EX.1254 is a 24-port unmanaged gigabit Ethernet switch offering 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 connectivity for wired LAN environments. Designed for small offices, home networks and edge deployments, the switch provides full gigabit speeds on each port and supports plug-and-play operation without the need for configuration. Its fixed-port design simplifies network expansion and delivers stable wired connections for desktops, printers, IP cameras and wireless access points.

Advantages

The unmanaged design allows immediate deployment with no setup, reducing installation time and technical requirements. With 24 gigabit RJ45 ports, the switch supports high-throughput traffic and simultaneous connections from multiple devices. The device’s compact fixed-port form factor fits in constrained spaces and integrates into existing LAN topologies to improve throughput and connection reliability for wired devices.

Suitable for

• Small office networks requiring multiple wired connections
• Home networks with high-bandwidth devices like NAS, gaming PCs or media servers
• Edge deployments connecting IP cameras and access points
• Temporary or branch installations where plug-and-play simplicity is needed

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 RJ45 ports
• Port speeds: 10/100/1000 Mbps per port (gigabit Ethernet)
• Type: Unmanaged, fixed-port switch
• Interface: 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45
• Operation: Plug-and-play with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX

How to use

Place the Extralink Zeus EX.1254 on a stable surface or mount it according to available rack or shelf options. Connect each device to an RJ45 port using standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better recommended for full gigabit performance). Connect the switch uplink port to your router or existing network switch to provide upstream connectivity. Power the unit from the supplied power adapter and allow the switch to initialize; LEDs indicate link and activity status on each port. No software configuration is required for typical operation.

Usage recommendations

For consistent gigabit throughput, use Cat5e or Cat6 cables and ensure connected devices support 1 Gbps speeds. Place the switch in a ventilated area and avoid exposure to excessive heat or moisture. For deployments with many PoE devices or where advanced management is required, consider a managed or PoE-capable switch instead of an unmanaged model.
