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

The D-Link DGS-1016D is a high-performance unmanaged Gigabit switch designed for small to medium businesses, workgroups, and growing networks. With 16 auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports, it delivers fast and reliable connectivity for bandwidth-hungry applications like video streaming, VoIP, large file transfers, and network backups.

Key Features

• 16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

  • Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing.

  • Auto MDI/MDI-X for plug-and-play connectivity without the need for crossover cables.

• High Switching Capacity

  • 32 Gbps switching fabric ensures smooth, non-blocking data transfer between ports.

  • Wire-speed forwarding for maximum throughput.

• Reliable Traffic Management

  • IEEE 802.3x Flow Control for full-duplex and backpressure for half-duplex to minimize packet loss.

  • 802.1p QoS (Quality of Service) with 4 priority queues for smoother voice, video, and critical data.

• Green Technology

  • Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE, 802.3az) reduces power consumption during low data activity.

  • Ports automatically power down when not in use or when shorter cables are detected.

• Sturdy & Quiet Design

  • Metal chassis for durability.

  • Fanless operation for silent performance, ideal for offices or noise-sensitive environments.

  • Can be used as a desktop unit or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack (1U height).

• Simple Deployment

  • Unmanaged, plug-and-play setup—no configuration required.
