Netgear GS116LP-100NAS

Product Overview

The NETGEAR GS116LP is a 16-port Gigabit PoE unmanaged switch that powers and connects AV endpoints over a single Ethernet cable. All sixteen ports support PoE and PoE+ up to 30W each, sharing a 76W power budget that can be expanded with NETGEAR FlexPoE adapters. The fanless metal chassis runs silently and mounts on a desk, wall, or 19-inch rack. It is a high-density choice for powering wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones across conference rooms and signage installs.

Product Description

The GS116LP 16-port Gigabit PoE switch is built for AV integrators who need many powered drops without running separate power lines. Every port supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at, delivering up to 30W per port within a 76W total PoE budget, enough to drive a mix of access points, PTZ or fixed IP cameras, and PoE phones across a floor or room. NETGEAR FlexPoE lets you raise the budget to 115W or 183W later by swapping in a higher-wattage adapter, so the deployment can scale without replacing the switch.

The 286 x 102 x 27 mm metal case ships with both wall-mount and rack-mount kits, giving flexible placement in an AV rack, a small cabinet, or behind a display wall. The fanless design keeps the switch completely silent for noise-sensitive rooms, and Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power use during light traffic.

The GS116LP is backed by a NETGEAR ProSAFE lifetime warranty with lifetime next-business-day replacement.
