D-Link DES-1016D 16-Port 10/100M Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Desktop Switch
The D-Link DES-1016D is a 16-port unmanaged Fast Ethernet switch built for SOHO and small-to-medium business networks that need to expand beyond a router’s built-in ports. Each of the 16 auto-sensing 10/100Mbps ports automatically negotiates network speed and duplex mode, and Auto MDI/MDIX crossover means any standard cable connects directly to a server, hub, or another switch without needing a dedicated uplink port or crossover cable. With store-and-forward switching and a 3.2Gbps switching capacity, the DES-1016D keeps data moving reliably across a busy workgroup. Its durable metal housing supports both desktop and rack-mount placement, and the fanless design keeps operation completely silent.
