It delivers up to 60W per port to power-hungry devices such as PTZ cameras, PoE lighting, and Wi-Fi 6 access points across demanding AV installations. The metal chassis supports desktop or rack mounting with 32 Gbps of non-blocking switching. A front-panel PoE mode selector enables compatibility with pre-802.3bt devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GS516UP 16-port Gigabit PoE++ unmanaged switch is built for AV deployments that include high-draw powered devices. Eight ports support Ultra60 802.3bt Type 3 PoE++ at up to 60W each, while the other eight support 802.3at PoE+ at up to 30W, all sharing a 380W budget. That combination powers 4K PTZ cameras, PoE-powered speakers, smart lighting, and high-performance access points alongside standard PoE endpoints. A market-first front-panel PoE mode selector lets installers enable a pre-802.3bt mode for legacy high-power devices created before the standard was ratified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rugged metal chassis is desktop or rack-mountable with the included kit and uses three fans to manage heat under heavy 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. NETGEAR's PoE power auto-balance technology allocates power based on each device's actual demand. As an unmanaged plug-and-play 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 AV networks. The 380W budget and 60W-per-port capability make it well suited to powering modern high-wattage endpoints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey

ports?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight ports support 802.3bt PoE++ (Ultra60) at up to 60W each for high-draw devices, and eight ports support 802.3at PoE+ at up to 30W each for standard devices. All share the 380W budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the PoE mode selector do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe front-panel selector enables a pre-802.3bt mode that powers certain high-power devices manufactured before the 802.3bt standard was ratified. Most modern devices use the standard IEEE 802.3bt mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the GS516UP managed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a fully unmanaged plug-and-play switch. It powers PoE devices and forwards traffic as soon as it is connected, with no VLANs or GUI to configure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it power 4K PTZ cameras and PoE lighting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The 60W PoE++ ports are designed for exactly these high-wattage devices, provided the combined draw across all powered ports stays within the 380W budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it cooled and mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe switch uses three internal fans to handle heat under heavy PoE++ load and ships with a rack-mount kit for a standard 19-inch rack; it can also be used on a desktop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty and support are included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe GS516UP carries a NETGEAR Limited Lifetime hardware warranty with 90 days of free technical support, and extended Sprint and Drive support plans are available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Netgear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47725555646700,"sku":"GS516UP-100NAS","price":369.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/B4_gs516up_32.webp?v=1781120980","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/netgear-gs516up-100nas","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
