D-Link DGS-1016C/B 16-Port 10/100/1000Base-T Unmanaged Switch
The D-Link DGS-1016C/B brings Gigabit Ethernet speed to every port, giving small offices and workgroups a straightforward way to upgrade a network beyond Fast Ethernet limits. Its 16 x 1000Base-T ports support data transfer speeds of up to 2000Mbps at full duplex, and Auto MDI/MDIX crossover means any standard cable works without needing a dedicated uplink port. The switch implements 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, automatically reducing power to ports with no active link or optimizing power based on cable length, and all ports include up to 4kV surge protection for added network reliability. With a completely fanless design, the DGS-1016C runs silently at just 0dB acoustic output, and requires no configuration for immediate plug-and-play use.
