Netgear 16 Port Desktop Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, GS316

The Netgear GS316 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch is designed to provide a simple and efficient way to expand wired network capacity without configuration or management complexity. It includes 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology, ensuring optimal speed and performance for all connected devices.

The switch supports a non-blocking architecture, allowing full Gigabit speeds across all ports simultaneously. This makes it suitable for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as file transfers, HD streaming, VoIP communications, online collaboration, and connecting multiple devices in home or office environments.

With a true plug-and-play design, the GS316 requires no software installation or setup. It automatically detects network devices and adjusts speeds accordingly, while Auto MDI/MDI-X support eliminates the need for crossover cables, simplifying installation further.

The GS316 incorporates Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) technology to reduce power consumption during low network activity. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet environments such as offices, classrooms, and home setups.

Built with a durable metal chassis, the switch is designed for long-term reliability and supports both desktop and wall-mount installation for flexible deployment.
