TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Rackmount Switch | TL-SG1016DE
The TP-Link TL-SG1016DE is a 16-port Gigabit Easy Smart switch, an upgrade from an unmanaged switch for small and medium business networks that need simple management. It offers 32 Gbps switching capacity, VLAN, QoS and monitoring tools, and fits on a desk or in a 19-inch rack.

16 Gigabit Ports: 16× 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX, 32 Gbps switching capacity and 23.8 Mpps forwarding rate.
Effective Monitoring: Port mirroring, loop prevention and cable diagnostics help administrators observe traffic and locate connection problems on the network.
QoS: Port-based, 802.1p and DSCP priority with 4 priority queues, plus bandwidth control and storm control, keep voice and video traffic smooth.
VLAN for Security: MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN and 802.1Q tag VLAN (up to 32 VLANs) segment the network for better security and performance.
Easy Management: Configure the switch through its web-based interface or TP-Link's Easy Smart Configuration Utility. The fanless design runs silently and the switch is rack mountable.
Who it's for / Works with: For small and medium business networks that need simple management on top of plug-and-play connectivity.
Good to know: Ports are Gigabit only; there are no SFP ports and no PoE. The Easy Smart Configuration Utility runs on Microsoft Windows. Power is internal (100–240 V AC) through a power cord.
