Unmanaged L2 netwerkswitch RUIJIE RG-ES124G-L — 24x Gigabit (10/100/1000), 48 Gbit/s, 8000 MAC, rackmontage

The Ruijie Networks RG-ES124G-L is an unmanaged L2 gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 RJ-45 ports designed for basic wired networks. It provides full-duplex Gigabit (10/100/1000) connections, a MAC address table capacity of 8,000 entries and a switching capacity of 48 Gbit/s. The unit is rack-mountable and comes in a black metal housing with AC power supply included. It can be made visible on Ruijie Cloud when at least one managed switch is deployed on the same network.

Advantages

This switch offers simple plug-and-play operation without configuration, reliable full-duplex Gigabit ports for standard office or CCTV networks, and sufficient switching capacity for small to medium deployments. The design follows strict PCB and component-selection standards to improve long-term stability and reliability.

Suitable for

• Small office wired networks
• CCTV and surveillance networks requiring port isolation and flow control
• Network expansion where unmanaged, cost-effective switching is acceptable
• Rack-mounted deployments in server cabinets

When it may not be suitable

The RG-ES124G-L is an unmanaged L2 switch and does not support advanced management features such as VLAN configuration, SNMP monitoring, or QoS policies beyond basic flow control and port isolation. It is not suitable when detailed network management, 10G uplinks, or per-port PoE power is required.

Key specifications

• Switch type: Unmanaged L2
• Ports: 24 × RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000), full duplex
• MAC address table: 8,000 entries
• Switching capacity: 48 Gbit/s
• Form factor: Rack-mountable
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 1.12 kg
• Power: AC power supply included

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a stable surface. Connect the AC power cable and link network devices to the RJ-45 ports using Cat5e or higher UTP cables. The device operates in plug-and-play mode; connected devices will negotiate link speed and duplex automatically. To visualize this unmanaged switch on Ruijie Cloud, ensure at least one managed Ruijie switch is present on the same network.

What to consider before purchase

• Requires managed Ruijie switch on the same network for Ruijie Cloud visibility
• No advanced management features (VLANs, SNMP, QoS beyond basic flow control)
• No 10G port support and no PoE on ports
• Verify rack space and power outlet availability

Recommendations

Use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for reliable Gigabit links, deploy the switch in a ventilated rack area to ensure cooling, and group CCTV devices on dedicated ports with port isolation enabled for improved security.
