The TL-SG1016D 16 Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch from TP-Link comes in an energy efficient configuration allowing you to save up to 40% over traditional network switches. With a variety of IEEE standards, this switch can be easily configured to meet a variety of needs. 802.3 compatibility is a general collection of IEEE standards used within a local area network when connecting hubs, switches, and routers. IEEE 802.3u, otherwise known as Fast Ethernet, is a standard that carries traffic at the normal rate of 100Mbps against the original Ethernet speed of 10Mbps. The IEEE 802.3x standard refers to a flow control standard allowing you to control traffic throughout the switch.
With 16 x 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 Ports you can connect a number of devices to the Gigabit Switch to allow for multiple devices to connect to the Internet. The 32Gbps switching capacity provides for ultra fast data transfer speeds along with the 8K MAC address table giving you the necessary space to store a large number of MAC addresses. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables allowing for a seamless connection. Once configured, the integrated LEDs show the power status, signal strength, and link activity.

I needed this product for a network for some very high end game programmers who are very sensitive to connection speeds. I cascaded three of these switches and they work great and were very easy to install.

Switch is switching like a madman. Awesome performance. I am using it between my Asus router and my house patch pannel. Speed is very good. B&H delivered very quickly and the product was very well packaged (no damage).

What can I say – it’s a gigabit networking switch and it works well. I haven’t done any hard-core speed or saturation tests, but it seems to pass packets reliably and at advertised speeds. Runs cool and silently (fanless). It’s hard to determine from the available documentation, but this unit DOES include the rack mount brackets for installation into a standard 19 equipment rack. All this, and it’s still one of the least expensive Gig-E switches on the market.
