D-Link DGS-1016D/E - 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch, Black, Metallic

The D-Link DGS-1016D/E 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch expands wired network capacity without requiring any configuration. It features 16 RJ-45 ports that automatically negotiate link speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s. This plug-and-play design allows connected devices to communicate immediately using standard Ethernet cables. Operating at Layer 2, the switch learns MAC addresses to forward frames across the local network, handling routine networking tasks without the need for manual administration.

Housed in a black metal chassis, the switch is built for daily use. It operates without a fan, ensuring silent operation in offices. The unit can be rack-mounted, allowing it to be integrated into standard equipment frames alongside other networking hardware. Status monitoring is provided by LED indicators on the front panel. The device has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 828,109 hours. It measures 281.9 x 180.3 x 44.5 mm and weighs 1,350 g.

• 32 Gbit/s switching capacity handles concurrent traffic across all ports.
• 8,000-entry MAC address table for efficient data routing in small to medium-sized networks.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX automatically detects cable types, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
• Jumbo frame support allows for larger data payloads to improve throughput.
• Hardware-based Quality of Service (QoS) prioritises critical network traffic using 4 dedicated scheduling queues.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control and broadcast storm management maintain connection stability during high data loads.
