NETGEAR GS116-300EUS - 16-port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch, Black

This unmanaged switch requires no configuration and provides a plug-and-play way to expand wired network capacity. The NETGEAR GS116-300EUS 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch features sixteen RJ45 ports for connecting computers, storage devices, and access points. It operates at Layer 2, forwarding traffic directly between connected hardware. Each port automatically negotiates speed, supporting Gigabit data transfer rates of up to 1 Gbit/s. To install the device, simply connect the power and Ethernet cables. Hardware-based switching ensures consistent performance for standard networking tasks.

The desktop switch measures 286 x 102 x 27 mm and weighs 890 g. Its fanless design ensures silent operation in noise-sensitive environments, such as open offices. Front-facing LEDs indicate power, speed, and link status for each connection. The unit can be wall-mounted to save desk space. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 4,161,000 hours, supporting long-term, continuous use. The unit is powered by an external DC supply and consumes a maximum of 8.1 W under full load.

• 32 Gbit/s switching capacity provides non-blocking throughput across all ports simultaneously.
• 8,000-entry MAC address table supports multiple devices on a local network.
• Jumbo frame support (up to 9,000 bytes) improves efficiency when transferring large files.
• 0.512 MB packet buffer memory helps prevent dropped packets during high-traffic periods.
• Complies with IEEE 802.3i, 802.3u, 802.3x, and 802.3z standards for broad compatibility.
• Compatible with 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T cabling for flexible deployment.
