Netgear GS116Ev2 16 Ports 10W Prosafe Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch

The Netgear GS116Ev2 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch is part of Netgear’s ProSAFE Smart Managed Lite series, offering an affordable upgrade from unmanaged switches by adding essential network management features. It includes 16 auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports that deliver high-speed, reliable connectivity for a wide range of network devices.

Unlike fully unmanaged switches, the GS116Ev2 provides a user-friendly web-based management interface that allows administrators to configure VLANs, prioritize traffic using QoS (Quality of Service), and monitor network activity. These features help improve network performance, enhance security, and segment traffic for better control in small business environments.

The switch is designed with a low 10W power consumption profile, making it energy-efficient and suitable for continuous operation. Its fanless design ensures silent performance, while the durable metal housing supports desktop or wall-mount installation for flexible deployment in offices, classrooms, retail spaces, and home setups.

With plug-and-play simplicity combined with smart management capabilities, the GS116Ev2 is an excellent solution for users who need more control than an unmanaged switch but do not require full enterprise-level complexity.
