Zyxel GS1100-16E-EU0101F - 16-port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch, Black

The Zyxel GS1100-16E-EU0101F 16-port Gigabit unmanaged switch requires no configuration and offers plug-and-play network expansion. It operates at Layer 2 to enable communication between connected devices such as computers and network storage drives. The switch features 16 RJ45 ports for wired connections, each supporting Gigabit Ethernet with a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. This allows for stable local connections and file transfers without manual traffic management. The switch handles data forwarding automatically, making it suitable for quick deployment.

The switch is housed in a black chassis measuring 215 × 133 × 42 mm. It weighs 1000 g, ensuring stable placement on a desk or shelf. Front-panel LED indicators display connection status and activity. The unit conforms to networking standards including IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3ab, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern devices. It operates continuously without requiring software configuration, and its compact size and status indicators make it suitable for small office environments.

• 32 Gbit/s switching capacity supports non-blocking throughput for simultaneous transfers across all connections.
• 8000-entry MAC address table routes traffic to specific devices, avoiding network-wide broadcasts.
• Auto-MDI/MDIX technology automatically detects connection types, removing the need for crossover cables.
• Broadcast storm control manages traffic spikes to prevent network degradation.
• 0.256 MB packet buffer memory maintains smooth transmission across varied network speeds.
• MAC address filtering provides basic security by limiting which devices can communicate through the switch.
