16-Port Gigabit Switch for Simple Wired Networks

The Netgear GS316-300NAS is an unmanaged 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small offices and home networks that need extra wired connections. It provides plug-and-play operation with no software installation or configuration required. The metal chassis supports desktop, wall-mount or rack-mount placement using the included hardware.

16 RJ45 Ports with 10/100/1000 Auto-Negotiation

Every port handles 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps speeds and auto-negotiates the highest common rate with the connected device. Auto-MDI/MDIX removes the need for crossover cables. A non-blocking architecture delivers full wire-speed throughput across all ports simultaneously. Jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes are supported for large data transfers.

Fanless Design Runs Silent at 8.10 W Typical Power

The switch operates without a fan, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as open-plan offices or living rooms. Typical power draw is 8.10 W and drops to 2.60 W in standby. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces consumption further during periods of low link utilisation. The unit is powered from an external 12 V DC adapter.

Questions about this item

What does the 128 MB/s maximum data transfer rate mean for actual file copies?

The switch forwards traffic at full Gigabit line rate across all 16 ports simultaneously, so large file transfers between connected devices can sustain up to 128 MB/s in either direction.

Which Ethernet standard caps the port speed and what does it allow?

Each port follows the 10/100/1000Base-T standard, automatically negotiating 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps depending on the connected device.

What physical mounting options come in the box?

The metal case includes rubber feet for desktop use, a wall-mount kit and a rack-mount kit, so you can place it on a shelf, screw it to a wall or install it in a standard rack.
