GS316P

Description

The NETGEAR GS316P FlexPoE 16-Port Unmanaged Desktop Gigabit PoE+ Switch (115W) is a networking device designed to provide power and network connectivity to PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled devices. Here are the key features and specifications of this switch:

1. Port Configuration: The switch offers a total of 16 Ethernet ports, all of which support Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. All 16 ports are PoE+ enabled, allowing for power delivery to PoE devices.

2. PoE+ Support: The switch supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) standard, enabling it to deliver up to 30W of power per port. This capability allows you to power a variety of PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other compatible devices directly through the Ethernet cable.

3. Power Budget: The switch has a maximum power budget of 115W, meaning the total power consumption of all connected PoE devices should not exceed this limit. Each device connected to a PoE port will draw power from the switch according to its power requirements.

4. Unmanaged Switch: The NETGEAR GS316P is an unmanaged switch, providing plug-and-play functionality. It does not require any configuration or management, making it easy to set up and use.

5. FlexPoE Technology: This switch features NETGEAR’s FlexPoE technology, allowing for manual power allocation on each PoE port. This flexibility is useful when you have a mix of devices with different power requirements.

6. Gigabit Ethernet: The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, delivering high-speed data transfer at up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps). This is ideal for applications that require high bandwidth, such as HD video streaming, large file transfers, and online gaming.

7. Desktop Form Factor: The GS316P is designed as a desktop switch, providing a compact and convenient solution for small to medium-sized networks. It can be easily placed on a desk or mounted on a wall.

8. Energy-Efficient Design: The switch is designed to be energy-efficient, featuring auto power-down functionality for inactive ports and power consumption adjustment based on cable length. These features help optimize power usage and reduce energy costs.
