D-Link DGS-F1016P 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 16 PoE+ ports, up to 300W PoE Budget
Product Overview
The D-Link DGS-F1016P (Model: DGS-F1016P) is a high-density, 18-port unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ desktop and rackmount switch purpose-built for enterprise IP CCTV surveillance installations, high-performance wireless access point arrays, and corporate IP telephony systems. Housed in a durable 1U metal enclosure, it features sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit PoE+ ports (supporting IEEE 802.3af/at standards with up to 30W output per port) backed by a massive 250W to 300W total PoE power budget. To facilitate high-capacity backbone connectivity to core server racks, central NVR recording units, or upper-tier distribution switches, the D-Link DGS-F1016P incorporates two dedicated 1.25G Gigabit SFP optical fiber uplink slots. Engineered for zero-configuration plug-and-play simplicity with IEEE 802.3x flow control, it delivers reliable, wire-speed Gigabit performance without requiring software setups.
