Your network is an investment reliant on switches that must perform to the highest level possible. HP Procurve switches feature industry-leading performance for 10/100 technology and can help you maintain high-performance LANs. Unlike a regular hub that wastes network bandwidth by bouncing packets around until they finally reach their destinations, a switch forwards packets only to their intended recipients, immediately reducing network traffic jams and improving overall efficiency for your entire network.

The HP Procurve 2524 Switch is a low-cost, stackable, managed 24-port switch with 10/100 auto-sensing per RJ-45 port and two open transceiver slots for Gigabit or 100BaseFX. It offers HP Auto-MDIX on all 10/100 and 100/1000 ports and high availability features. The ARM7TDMI processor has a 9.6Gbps switch fabric integrated on-chip and delivers throughput at 6.6 million packets per second. Expansion is easy with single IP address management for a virtual stack of up to 16 switches.
