DGS-1016C – 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

D-Link DGS-1016C Gigabit Unmanaged Switch with 16 Ports

The DGS-1016C Gigabit Unmanaged Switch provides fast wired connectivity for homes, small offices, and growing businesses. It includes 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports for computers, printers, storage devices, and other network equipment. Moreover, its plug-and-play design requires no software configuration. Automatic port settings and energy-saving technology also simplify daily operation while reducing unnecessary power use.

Product Overview

The DGS-1016C Gigabit Unmanaged Switch supports 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps connections on every port. Auto-negotiation selects a suitable speed for each connected device. In addition, automatic MDI/MDIX removes the need to choose between straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.

The switch uses store-and-forward transmission to check data before sending it onward. It also supports full wire-speed reception and transmission. Meanwhile, IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service prioritises time-sensitive traffic. Therefore, voice calls, video streams, and file transfers can receive efficient handling during busy periods.

Key Features

• Provides 16 Gigabit LAN ports, allowing several wired devices to share one local network.
• Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation, matching each port to the connected device’s supported speed.
• Uses plug-and-play installation, so users can expand a network without software configuration.
• Supports automatic MDI/MDIX on every port, removing the need for special crossover cables.
• Provides wire-speed reception and transmission, helping maintain efficient data movement across active ports.
• Supports IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service with eight queues, prioritising important network traffic.
• Uses IEEE 802.3x flow control to reduce dropped packets when a receiving buffer becomes full.
• Supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet, lowering port power use during inactive periods.
• Adjusts energy use according to cable length, helping avoid unnecessary power consumption.
• Uses a silent design, making it suitable for workspaces where low operating noise matters.
