TP-LINK TL-SF1016 - 16-Port Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Rackmount Switch, Black

The TP-LINK TL-SF1016 16-Port 10/100 Mbps Unmanaged Rackmount Switch expands network capacity without configuration. This plug-and-play device features 16 RJ45 ports that support Fast Ethernet speeds of up to 100 Mbps. The switch handles Ethernet switching automatically, requiring no manual setup or software. It routes traffic between connected devices, including computers, access points, and network-attached storage.

The black chassis features a 1U form factor for direct rack mounting. Measuring 440 x 180 x 44 mm, the unit occupies minimal depth within server environments. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for shared workspaces. LED indicators provide status updates on links and network activity. With a maximum power consumption of 2.23 W, the switch minimises electrical draw and heat output.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX on all ports automatically detects connection types, removing the need for crossover cables.
• A 3.2 Gbit/s switching capacity supports concurrent traffic from multiple devices.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss by pausing data transmission during heavy traffic.
• An 8000-entry MAC address table manages routing to client hardware.
• A forwarding rate of 2.38 Mpps maintains consistent connection stability.
• 2 MB of packet buffer memory accommodates data bursts to reduce congestion during peak network usage.
