NETGEAR PoE Switch 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch

The NETGEAR GS116LP PoE Switch is a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch specifically designed for businesses and home networks. With its 16 PoE+ ports, it provides a total power output of up to 76W, making it ideal for operating Power-over-Ethernet devices such as VoIP phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points.

The advanced PoE+ technology of the GS116LP allows it to deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation and reduces costs since no additional power cords or sockets are needed. Furthermore, the switch supports automatic detection and classification of connected PoE devices as well as overload and short-circuit protection for safe operation.

With its Gigabit Ethernet performance, the NETGEAR GS116LP provides fast data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbps per port. This ensures smooth network performance and enables real-time applications like video surveillance or VoIP without delays or buffering issues.

The GS116LP features a robust metal housing construction, making it durable and resistant to physical damage. Moreover, it has a compact size, allowing it to be easily integrated into any network environment - whether on a desk or mounted in a rack.

Another noteworthy feature of this switch is its plug-and-play functionality. No configurations are required - simply connect the device and it's ready for use. The switch also supports Auto-Negotiation for automatic connection speed detection as well as Auto-MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables.

In terms of energy efficiency, the NETGEAR GS116LP uses intelligent technologies such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), which reduces power consumption when little network traffic is present or during non-operating times.

In summary, the NETGEAR GS116LP PoE Switch with its 16 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports is a powerful solution for businesses of all sizes as well as demanding home users. Its ability to provide PoE+ power combined with high speed and easy handling make it an excellent choice for modern connected environments.
