Netgear 85W 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Poe Smart Managed Plus Switch with 8 Ports Poe, JGS516PE

The Netgear JGS516PE 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch is designed for small businesses and advanced home networks that require both Power over Ethernet and basic smart management capabilities. It includes 16 auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports, with 8 ports supporting PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at), enabling both power and data delivery through a single Ethernet cable.

With an 85W total PoE power budget, the switch can efficiently power multiple low to mid-power devices such as IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and access control systems. This simplifies deployment by reducing cabling and eliminating the need for separate power adapters.

The JGS516PE delivers a 32 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity, ensuring smooth Gigabit performance across all ports simultaneously. Unlike unmanaged switches, it includes Smart Managed Plus features such as VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, port-based management, and traffic monitoring through an easy-to-use web interface.

It is designed for simple configuration without requiring advanced networking expertise, making it suitable for offices, retail environments, classrooms, and surveillance setups that need more control than unmanaged switches but less complexity than fully managed solutions.
