Netgear 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

Description

The Netgear 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch is a networking device designed to expand the number of wired Ethernet connections in a network. Here are some 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. These ports allow for high-speed data transfer between connected devices.

2. Unmanaged Switch: The Netgear 16 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is an unmanaged switch, which means it operates in a plug-and-play mode. It does not require any configuration or management, making it easy to set up and use.

3. Gigabit Ethernet: The switch supports Gigabit Ethernet, providing a data transfer rate of up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps). This is ideal for bandwidth-intensive tasks such as HD video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers.

4. Auto MDI/MDIX: The switch supports Auto MDI/MDIX on all ports, which means you can use either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables to connect devices to the switch. This feature simplifies the cable connections and eliminates the need for special crossover cables.

5. Energy-Efficient Design: The switch is designed to be energy-efficient, with features such as auto power-down when ports are not in use and the ability to adjust power consumption based on cable length. These features help save power and reduce energy costs.

6. Rackmount Option: The switch is typically designed for desktop use, but some models may offer rackmount options. This allows for convenient installation in server racks or network cabinets.

7. Fanless Design: Many models of Netgear switches, including some 16-port models, feature a fanless design. This ensures silent operation and reduces the chances of mechanical failure.
