Netgear GS116-300NAS

Product Overview

The NETGEAR GS116 is a 16-port Gigabit unmanaged switch that delivers high-density plug-and-play connectivity for commercial AV and small-office networks. All sixteen 10/100/1000 copper ports auto-negotiate speed and duplex with no configuration required. The fanless metal chassis runs silently and mounts on a desk or wall, fitting conference rooms, training rooms, and signage deployments. A 32 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric provides full Gigabit throughput across every port.

Product Description

The GS116 16-port Gigabit unmanaged switch is the practical choice when an AV install needs many wired drops in one place, such as a presentation room, an equipment rack, or a wall of displays, without the overhead of managed configuration. It is fully plug-and-play and ready the moment it is powered, auto-sensing link speed and cable type on each port. Support for IEEE 802.1p and DSCP-based prioritization along with jumbo frames up to 9K helps keep voice and video traffic clean across the segment.

Built into a durable 286 x 100 x 27 mm metal case, the GS116 sits on a desk or mounts to a wall with the included kit for placement in an AV cabinet or under-table mount. The fanless design ensures silent operation for noise-sensitive rooms, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power use during light traffic.

The GS116 includes a NETGEAR limited lifetime hardware warranty with lifetime chat support and next-business-day replacement.
