Unmanaged rackmount switches are plug and play devices that connect multiple pieces of equipment in a network, forwarding data packets between ports without any configuration, and are built for mounting in a standard 19 inch rack.
Choosing a switch
- Port counts run to 16 port and 24 port, sized to the number of devices needing a connection.
- Speed options cover 10/100Mbps for lighter loads and 10/100/1000 Gigabit for faster networks.
- TP-Link PoE versions are available where connected devices need power over the same cable as their data connection.

Unmanaged Rackmount Switches FAQs
What is the difference between 16 port and 24 port switches?
A 16 port switch suits a smaller number of connected devices, while a 24 port TP-Link switch gives more capacity for larger installs, both built for mounting in a 19 inch rack.
Do unmanaged rackmount switches support PoE?
Some TP-Link models in this range include Power over Ethernet ports, letting connected devices such as access points draw power over the same cable as their data connection.
What speed should I choose, 10/100Mbps or Gigabit?
Choose a 10/100/1000 Gigabit switch for the fastest connection between devices on the network, or a 10/100Mbps model where the connected equipment does not need Gigabit speed.
