All 16 copper ports auto-negotiate 10G\/5G\/2.5G\/1G, and two 10G SFP+ ports provide fiber aggregation to the core. Layer 2+\/Lite L3 management, IPv6 support, ACLs, static routing, and optional NETGEAR Insight cloud control make it a capable non-PoE aggregation switch. The non-blocking 360Gbps fabric handles AV-over-IP, storage, and converged data, voice, and video traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XS516TM is designed for installations that need dense 10G connectivity with full smart-switch management but without PoE. Each of the 16 copper ports auto-negotiates 10G\/5G\/2.5G\/1G over copper, and the ports run 2.5G\/5G over existing Cat5e with full 10G on Cat6A, reducing recabling costs. Two dedicated 10G SFP+ ports aggregate traffic to the core over fiber or copper modules. The non-blocking 360Gbps fabric forwards traffic at wire speed with a 16K MAC table and 512 VLANs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManagement is comprehensive: advanced VLANs (including MAC-based, protocol-based, and private VLANs), L2\/L3\/L4 ACLs with 802.1x authentication, IGMP\/MLD snooping and querier, IPv4\/IPv6 static routing, VLAN routing, DHCP server\/relay\/snooping, and SNMP v1\/v2c\/v3 with RMON. Strict-priority and WRR queuing plus Auto-VoIP and Auto-Camera VLANs prioritize converged AV traffic. A Lite CLI and web GUI cover local configuration, and optional NETGEAR Insight cloud management adds remote multi-site monitoring and firmware updates. Temperature- and load-based fans keep it to 27.35 dBA, with desktop, wall-mount, or rack-mount options.
