NETGEAR MS324TXUP-100NAS 24-Port PoE++ Managed Switch

Overview

The MS324TXUP-100NAS is a 24-port managed Ethernet switch designed for medium-scale IP surveillance and enterprise networking. It delivers PoE++ power on all 24 ports, meaning every connected camera, access control reader, or wireless access point draws power directly from the switch without additional injectors or separate PSUs. This is the infrastructure backbone for deployments running dozens of PoE-powered devices across a single building floor or multi-building campus — reducing cable runs, eliminating power supply clutter, and simplifying inventory.

Compatibility

The MS324TXUP-100NAS works with any standard PoE, PoE+, or PoE++ powered device: IP cameras (domes, bullets, PTZs, and turrets from Axis, Hikvision, Uniview, Hanwha, and others), IP intercoms, access control panels with networked readers, wireless access points, and edge analytics appliances. It also integrates with standard network infrastructure — connect upstream to core switches, firewalls, or network video recorders via its uplink ports. No proprietary cabling or connectors; all connections use standard RJ-45 Ethernet.

Installation Notes

Mount in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the included rack ears — verify your rack has clearance for the switch's depth and airflow. Verify your building's power infrastructure: the switch draws significant current when all 24 ports deliver full PoE++ power simultaneously (approximately 360W worst-case), so confirm your circuit breaker and UPS capacity before deployment. Use standard Cat5e or Cat6a cabling for all runs under 100 meters; Cat6a is preferred for longer runs or environments with EMI. Configure management access via the web interface or CLI — set a strong SNMP community string and enable port security to prevent rogue devices from connecting.
