Description

Product Description

The D‑Link DGS‑1016C is a 16‑port Gigabit unmanaged switch designed for simple, reliable LAN expansion in small offices, homes, and network edge deployments. With 16 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports, it delivers full‑duplex gigabit performance across all ports with wire‑speed forwarding. The switch operates in a plug‑and‑play mode with auto‑negotiation, auto MDI/MDIX, and store‑and‑forward switching, eliminating the need for complex setup or management.

Built for energy efficiency, the switch implements 802.3az Energy‑Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which reduces power draw when traffic is low or ports are idle. Integrated QoS (8 queues) ensures better handling of time‑sensitive traffic like multimedia and VoIP. The rugged metal housing and fanless design provide silent, reliable operation, with per‑port LED indicators for quick status monitoring.
