Zyxel GS1100-16 Gigabit Ethernet non gestito (10/100/1000)

The Zyxel GS1100-16 is an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch with 16 RJ-45 ports designed for simple, reliable network expansion. It delivers a switching capacity of 32 Gbit/s and maintains a MAC address table of 8000 entries. The switch supports IEEE 802.1p prioritization, jumbo frames and Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) to improve handling of voice and video traffic while reducing power consumption. The compact unit can be wall-mounted or rack-mounted depending on your installation needs.

Advantages

Plug-and-play connectivity requires no configuration thanks to auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X, enabling immediate Gigabit links. The fanless design provides whisper-quiet operation suitable for small or quiet office environments. Energy-saving features detect link status, cable length and network activity to dynamically adjust power use and lower operating costs.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office network expansion
• Silent environments such as meeting rooms or reception areas
• Deployments requiring basic Gigabit switching without management
• Networks prioritizing voice and video traffic

How to use

Install the switch on a flat surface, wall bracket or rack using the appropriate mounting hardware. Connect each network device to the desired RJ-45 port using Cat5e or better cables. Power the unit using the supplied external power adapter. The switch will automatically negotiate link speed and duplex settings; no further configuration is required. For optimal performance with voice or video, connect endpoints and upstream devices on Gigabit-capable ports and enable QoS on connected equipment where applicable.

Recommendations

Place the GS1100-16 in a well-ventilated area free of dust. Use appropriate-length Ethernet cables and Cat5e or higher to ensure Gigabit performance. Although fanless, avoid enclosing the switch in tight, unventilated enclosures when operating in high ambient temperatures. For deployments requiring advanced management or 10G uplinks, consider a managed switch or a model with higher port speeds.
