D-Link DGS-1016C 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch, Non-PoE, 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports

Product Overview

The D-Link DGS-1016C (Model: DGS-1016C / DGS-1016C/B) is an economical 16-port unmanaged Gigabit desktop and rackmount switch designed for small-to-medium businesses, home offices, branch environments, and workgroup LAN extensions. Housed in a compact, fanless metal enclosure, it features sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit non-PoE RJ45 Ethernet ports supporting full-duplex wire speeds up to 2000 Mbps per port. Powered by a non-blocking 32 Gbps switching fabric with an 8,000 MAC address table, the D-Link DGS-1016C delivers plug-and-play simplicity with Auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection, IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization, IEEE 802.3x flow control, and IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) power savings.

D-Link DGS-1016C Product Features

• D-Link DGS-1016C features sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit RJ-45 non-PoE ports for high-speed wired expansion across workstations, servers, NAS storage, and office printers.

• D-Link DGS-1016C delivers zero-configuration plug-and-play deployment with auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables or manual setup.
