Gigabit Switch

Does anyone know of an externally powered 24 port gigabit switch. All the ones I've seen take 240V and hence are quite noisy.

Cheers.

I use a Netgear 16 ports GS116 -- it has an external PSU had has no fan, also doesn't heat up that much! Not sure if they do a 24 ports version...

i've been using that switch since 2008 or so, and it's been very nice and reliable. Also supports jumbo frames.

The last few 24 port HP switches (internal PSUs) I've bought haven't had cooling fans so they're silent.

I use a LINKSYS/Cisco SR2016 16-Port gigabit switch.

Has built in psu, it's totally quiet & cool running.
