TP-Link TL-SG116E - 16-Port Gigabit Switch, Black

The TP-Link TL-SG116E 16-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch is designed to expand wired network capacity. This plug-and-play device connects computers, access points, and network storage straight out of the box. It features 16 RJ45 ports, each supporting data transfer speeds of up to 1 Gbit/s. The switch integrates both older and newer hardware, automatically negotiating speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps to manage traffic across the network. Adding devices is a straightforward process that requires no complex technical configuration.

The unit is housed in a metal casing that protects internal components and allows for passive cooling. Because it is fanless, the switch operates silently, making it suitable for offices or home environments. It measures 286 × 111.7 × 25.4 mm and can be placed on a desk or shelf. Front-facing LEDs provide status updates and indicate port activity. Power consumption is 9.19 W during active use, and its black finish blends with standard IT equipment.
