Switch NETGEAR GS116LP Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Power over Ethernet (PoE) nero

The NETGEAR GS116LP is an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch with 16 RJ-45 ports and Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) support. Designed for small business and office networks, it delivers a switching capacity of 32 Gbit/s and a MAC address table of 4000 entries. The compact black metal enclosure supports rack mounting, desktop placement or wall installation and complies with common IEEE standards for compatibility and reliable performance.

Advantages

The GS116LP uses high-quality components and is tested for long life and consistent operation. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power draw during low traffic or when ports are idle, and the switch supports 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frames for smoother integration into more advanced networks. Built-in PoE/PoE+ capability and an interchangeable external power supply with a PoE budget selector provide flexible power options for IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points.

Suitable for

• Small office and small business networks
• Powering PoE devices such as IP security cameras and VoIP phones
• Rack-mounted or wall-mounted network segments in compact installations

How to use

Place the GS116LP on a desktop, mount it in a rack using the included accessories, or attach it to a wall. Connect your network devices to the RJ-45 Gigabit ports using standard Ethernet cables. If you power PoE devices, choose the appropriate external power supply and set the PoE budget selector according to the total PoE power required by connected devices. The switch is unmanaged and operates plug-and-play without configuration.

Recommendations

To optimise energy use and performance, connect devices with the shortest practical cable runs, enable devices that support Energy Efficient Ethernet, and verify the combined PoE power draw does not exceed the chosen power supply budget.
