NETGEAR ProSafe TEG-S17D 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch

16-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch for Small Offices

The NETGEAR ProSafe TEG-S17D provides sixteen Gigabit RJ-45 ports in a desktop form factor. It connects up to sixteen wired devices such as computers, printers and access points. The unmanaged design requires no configuration, making it suitable for small businesses or home offices that need immediate plug-and-play connectivity. NDAA and TAA compliance allows deployment in government environments.

32Gbps Switching Capacity Under Continuous Traffic

A 32Gbps switching fabric and a 16000 megabits-per-second packet forwarding rate keep data moving during sustained high-volume transfers. The 768KB buffer absorbs bursts without dropping frames, while 9216-byte jumbo frame support reduces overhead for large file movements. Fanless metal housing dissipates heat silently, so performance remains consistent during extended operation without acoustic distraction.

Upgrade from Slower or Smaller Unmanaged Switches

Replaces older 10/100M switches or smaller port-count Gigabit units when more devices need wired speed. The jump is worthwhile when existing cabling supports Gigabit and the network regularly handles multi-device backups, video streams or large file shares. It does not serve buyers who need managed features such as VLANs, QoS or link aggregation, nor those requiring Power over Ethernet for connected endpoints.
