16-Port Gigabit Switch for Small Networks

The Netgear GS316-300NAS provides 16 RJ45 ports operating at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. It is an unmanaged switch designed for plug-and-play deployment in offices or home labs. No configuration software is required to begin passing traffic.

Unmanaged Operation Decides Fit

Because the switch is unmanaged, it cannot be configured for VLANs, link aggregation or port monitoring. Buyers who need traffic segmentation, SNMP monitoring or any Layer 2 feature set must choose a managed model instead.

8K MAC Table and 4.1 MB Buffer

The 8K MAC address table and 4.1 MB packet buffer handle typical small-business workloads and jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes. Very large multicast storms or sustained line-rate bursts across all 16 ports simultaneously may exceed the buffer headroom.

Questions about this item

How does the 16-port count translate to actual device connections in a small office?

Sixteen RJ45 ports let you plug in up to sixteen wired devices — PCs, printers, access points or NAS units — each running at up to 1000 Mbps without any configuration.

What does the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard cap throughput at on each port?

Each port negotiates up to 1000 Mbps full-duplex; the switch fabric forwards frames at line rate so no single port is bottlenecked by the backplane.

What mounting hardware or clearances does the 286 x 102 x 27 mm chassis need?

The metal case includes keyhole slots for wall mounting and rubber feet for desktop use; allow a few centimetres at the front for cable bend radius and at the rear for the 12 V DC power jack.
