D-Link 16-Port 10/100/1000Base-T Unmanaged Switch (DGS-1016C/B)

The D-Link DGS-1016C/B 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch is a reliable, high-performance networking solution designed to expand wired network connectivity for homes, offices, schools, retail businesses, and small-to-medium-sized business environments. It features 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps connections, making it suitable for connecting computers, printers, IP cameras, access points, network storage devices, VoIP equipment, and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Designed for simple plug-and-play operation, the DGS-1016C/B requires no complicated configuration or network management. Each port automatically negotiates the appropriate network speed and duplex mode, while Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables. With a 32 Gbps switching capacity, store-and-forward switching, Quality of Service (QoS), and Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology, the switch provides efficient and reliable network connectivity for everyday business and high-bandwidth applications.

Product Features

16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The DGS-1016C/B provides 16 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, allowing multiple network devices to be connected through a single switch. Gigabit connectivity provides significantly higher network speeds compared with traditional Fast Ethernet switches.

10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Connectivity

Each port automatically supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps, allowing the switch to connect to devices with different Ethernet speeds while providing Gigabit performance to compatible equipment.

32 Gbps Switching Capacity

With a 32 Gbps switching capacity, the switch is designed to handle simultaneous network traffic efficiently across its ports, making it suitable for file transfers, internet access, network storage, VoIP, video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.

Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Operation

The DGS-1016C/B is an unmanaged switch that requires no software configuration or complicated network setup. Simply connect the Ethernet cables, power on the switch, and begin using the network.

Auto-Negotiation

Each Ethernet port automatically detects the speed and duplex capabilities of the connected device and negotiates the appropriate connection, helping provide reliable communication across the network.

Auto MDI/MDIX

Auto MDI/MDIX automatically detects the type of Ethernet connection and eliminates the need for crossover cables. Standard Ethernet cables can therefore be used when connecting computers, switches, routers, access points, printers, and other network devices.

Quality of Service (QoS)

The switch supports IEEE 802.1p QoS, allowing network traffic to be prioritized according to its requirements. This can help improve the delivery of time-sensitive traffic such as VoIP calls and multimedia streams during periods of heavy network activity.

Store-and-Forward Switching

The DGS-1016C/B uses a store-and-forward switching method to help ensure reliable packet transmission across the network. It checks and forwards network packets appropriately between connected devices.

Jumbo Frame Support

The switch supports jumbo frames of up to 9,216 bytes, which can help improve network efficiency when transferring large amounts of data between compatible devices such as servers, workstations and network storage systems.

Energy-Efficient Ethernet

The DGS-1016C/B supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE). The switch can reduce power consumption when network activity is low, helping improve energy efficiency without requiring manual configuration.

802.3x Flow Control

IEEE 802.3x Flow Control helps manage traffic when receiving devices experience congestion, helping reduce packet loss and maintain reliable network communication.

Full/Half-Duplex Support

The switch supports full- and half-duplex communication depending on the connected device and negotiated connection, allowing it to operate with a wide range of Ethernet equipment.

Wire-Speed Data Transmission

The DGS-1016C/B is designed to provide wire-speed reception and transmission, helping connected Gigabit devices communicate efficiently without requiring complex network configuration.

8,000 MAC Address Table

The switch supports a MAC address table of up to 8,000 entries, allowing it to learn and manage the network addresses of multiple connected devices.

Reliable Network Expansion

With 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, the DGS-1016C/B provides a convenient way to expand an existing wired network and connect multiple devices through a single network switch.

Desktop and Rack-Mountable Installation

The DGS-1016C/B is designed for practical network installation and can be deployed as part of an office, small-business, server-room, or network cabinet setup. The metal design provides a durable enclosure for everyday networking environments.
