TP-Link TL-SG116 16-port Gigabit unmanaged network switch

16-Port Gigabit Switch for Network Expansion

The TP-Link TL-SG116 is a 16-port Gigabit unmanaged switch built to expand wired connectivity in home or office environments. It delivers 16 RJ45 ports operating at 10/100/1000 Mbps with Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX for plug-and-play installation. The fanless metal chassis ensures silent operation while shielded ports help reduce static interference during data transfers. This switch suits users needing immediate port density without configuration complexity.

Desktop or Wall-Mount Integration

The compact desktop format allows placement on a shelf or wall mounting to suit space constraints, with an operating temperature range of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. All 16 ports are non-blocking Gigabit interfaces, freeing uplink bandwidth for servers, NAS devices or wireless access points. No software setup is required; simply connect Ethernet cables to link computers, printers, IP cameras or VoIP phones. Power is supplied via an internal unit, eliminating external adapter clutter.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous traffic the switch uses IEEE 802.3X flow control to maintain reliable data transfer across all ports without packet loss. Port-based 802.1p/DSCP QoS and IGMP Snooping prioritise latency-sensitive streams such as voice and video, keeping them clear during heavy file transfers. Energy-efficient technology reduces power draw proportionally to link status and cable length. The fanless design maintains thermal stability without moving parts, supporting long-term operation in quiet environments.
