D-Link DGS-1016D 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Rackmount Switch

Sixteen Connections for a More Organised Workspace The D-Link DGS-1016D is built for a growing office, workgroup or equipment rack. Sixteen Gigabit ports provide a straightforward wired expansion point without a management interface or fan noise. Its plug-and-play design automatically negotiates 10/100/1000Mbps connections and works without a software controller. Connect it to an existing router or network to add wired ports; it does not replace the Internet router or add Wi-Fi. Highlights Wired Connectivity 16 × 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with auto-negotiation Automatic MDI/MDI-X for ordinary Ethernet patch cables 32Gbps switching capacity and store-and-forward forwarding Simple Deployment Unmanaged plug-and-play operation No controller or subscription required Connect to a router or upstream switch for Internet access Practical Installation Metal desktop/rackmount Fanless operation without cooling-fan noise 3-year warranty Key Features More Places for Wired Equipment Add wired connections for computers, printers, storage or other Ethernet devices without replacing the rest of the network. Every port supports Gigabit Ethernet and automatically negotiates with compatible 10Mbps or 100Mbps equipment. Local transfer speed still depends on the connected equipment, cabling and network load. Useful Controls Without a Management Console The current J1 model provides DIP-switch controls for Energy-Efficient Ethernet, flow control, port isolation and storm control. These are practical hardware settings rather than a configurable managed-switch platform. Choose the settings that match the intended network and check the connected equipment before enabling isolation or altering flow-control behaviour. Start With a Simple Physical Connection Connect the switch to the existing network and attach the endpoints using suitable Ethernet cabling. Auto-negotiation selects the supported link rate and Auto MDI/MDI-X removes the need to choose crossover cables. A connected router continues to provide services such as Internet routing and DHCP. Quiet Operation Where People Work The fanless design avoids cooling-fan noise in the office or equipment area. Metal desktop/rackmount construction keeps the installation compact. Provide ventilation, keep the unit within its operating conditions and support cables properly rather than treating a silent switch as equipment that can be enclosed without airflow. Efficient Switching for Everyday Traffic Store-and-forward switching and IEEE 802.3x flow control support ordinary wired traffic, while Energy-Efficient Ethernet can reduce link power during suitable idle periods. The 32Gbps switching fabric describes aggregate switch capacity; it does not increase a single Gigabit port or the speed of an Internet subscription. Know the Limits Before Connecting Devices This model does not supply PoE power. This is an unmanaged Gigabit switch rather than a multi-gigabit router or wireless access point. Choose a model with the appropriate managed features or higher-speed interfaces when the wider network requires them. Summary The D-Link DGS-1016D offers 16 straightforward Gigabit connections for a growing office, workgroup or equipment rack. Its practical value is a compact, fanless connection point with simple setup, while the existing router continues to handle the Internet connection. Frequently Asked Questions Does This Switch Replace My Router?ExpandCollapse No. The DGS-1016D expands a wired Ethernet network. Connect it to a router or another suitable upstream network device for Internet access and routing services. It does not provide a mobile modem or Wi-Fi. Does It Supply Power over Ethernet?ExpandCollapse No. The DGS-1016D carries Ethernet data but is not a PoE power source. Cameras, access points or phones needing power must use their own suitable power arrangement or a compatible PoE switch/injector. Does It Need Configuration or a Controller?ExpandCollapse No controller is required for ordinary plug-and-play switching. The current hardware also has DIP controls for EEE, flow control, port isolation and storm control; these are not a web-based managed-switch interface. Will It Work With Older Ethernet Devices?ExpandCollapse Yes. Its RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation. Each link runs at a speed supported by both connected devices and the cable; Gigabit capability does not make a slower endpoint or broadband service faster. Can I Use It Beside My Desk?ExpandCollapse The switch is fanless and produces no cooling-fan noise. Metal desktop/rackmount placement is supported. Keep it ventilated and within the specified temperature limits, with cables and power connections arranged safely. What Warranty Is Included?ExpandCollapse A 3-year warranty applies, subject to the applicable product and component terms. Baca selengkapnya
