TP-Link TL-SF1016DS V3.0 - 16-port Fast Ethernet switch, Black

This unmanaged switch requires no configuration, providing a plug-and-play way to expand a wired network. The TP-Link TL-SF1016DS v3.0 16-Port Fast Ethernet Switch features 16 RJ-45 ports for connecting devices to a local network. Operating at Layer 2, it handles traffic at speeds of up to 100 Mbps per port, with a total switching capacity of 3.2 Gbps. The forwarding rate of 2.38 Mpps supports data transfer to connected devices using 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T copper Ethernet.

Housed in a 1U black metal chassis, the switch mounts directly into standard server racks or telecommunications cabinets. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet workspaces. It consumes a maximum of 2.06 W under full load. The unit measures 294 x 180 x 44 mm and weighs 1.95 kg. It features an internal power supply, eliminating the need for an external power adapter.

• Auto-MDI/MDIX capability eliminates the need for crossover cables by automatically detecting the required connection type.
• Autonegotiation adjusts port speeds to match connected devices for efficient throughput.
• The 8,000-entry MAC address table provides sufficient capacity for moderate-sized local networks.
• 2 MB of packet buffer memory helps prevent data loss during brief bursts of network traffic.
• IEEE 802.3x flow control pauses transmission when a receiving node buffer is full to reduce dropped packets.
• Broad compatibility allows the use of legacy Cat3 and Cat4 cabling alongside modern Cat5 and Cat5e infrastructure.
