It delivers high-power PoE to access points, cameras, and VoIP endpoints across mid-sized commercial AV installations with no configuration required. The metal chassis supports desktop or rack mounting and provides 32 Gbps of non-blocking switching. It suits conference rooms, training rooms, and house of worship spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GS516PP 16-port Gigabit PoE+ unmanaged switch lets integrators power a dense set of edge devices from one plug-and-play unit. All 16 Gigabit ports support 802.3at PoE+ at up to 30W per port, drawing from a shared 260W budget that can supply a full complement of access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. NETGEAR's PoE power auto-balance technology allocates power according to each device's real demand rather than its detected class. Auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI\/MDIX mean no crossover cables and no manual port configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rugged metal chassis is desktop or rack-mountable with the included kit and uses two fans for cooling under PoE load. With 32 Gbps of non-blocking fabric, an 8K MAC address table, and 802.1p and DSCP QoS, it forwards and prioritizes AV, voice, and data traffic at wire speed. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), auto power-down, and short-cable detection trim idle consumption. As an unmanaged device, it begins powering and forwarding traffic as soon as it is connected, and it standardizes well with the broader \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/collections\/netgear\"\u003eNETGEAR switch collection\u003c\/a\u003e for layered deployments. The 260W budget makes it a practical choice for consolidating powered endpoints in a single room or rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 PoE+ Ports (802.3at)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Delivers up to 30W per port to access points, cameras, and VoIP endpoints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e260W Total PoE Budget\u003c\/strong\u003e — Powers a full set of edge devices from a single switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32 Gbps Non-Blocking Fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wire-speed switching across all 16 ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoE Power Auto-Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e — Allocates power dynamically based on real device demand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e802.1p and DSCP QoS\u003c\/strong\u003e — Prioritizes voice and video traffic on the network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesktop or Rack-Mountable\u003c\/strong\u003e — Flexible placement in a durable metal chassis with dual-fan cooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-and-Play Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e — No configuration required;
