TP-Link TL-SG1016DE 16-port Gigabit network switch

16-port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG1016DE is a 16-port Gigabit Easy Smart switch designed for small to medium networks needing basic management. It provides sixteen RJ45 ports running at 10/100/1000Mbps and supports up to 128 VLANs simultaneously. The switch suits administrators who want traffic segmentation and monitoring without the complexity of a fully managed platform.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous traffic the switch uses store-and-forward switching with a 512KB buffer and 8K MAC address table. Jumbo frames up to 9KB improve large data transfer efficiency while IEEE 802.3x flow control prevents packet loss. Maximum power draw is 11.73W at 220V and the energy-efficient design reduces power output by up to 18% during lighter periods.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your rack or desktop space accommodates the 1.70" x 11.60" x 7.10" metal chassis and that the 100-240V AC power input matches your supply. The operating temperature range is 0 to 40°C so ensure adequate ventilation. No uplink ports are included so plan your uplink connections using the standard Gigabit ports.
