TP-Link 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Pro Switch TL-SG116E

What This Product Does

The TL-SG116E Unmanaged Pro switch is an ideal upgrade on unmanaged switches, suited for home and small business networks. A plug-and-play design makes for easy deployment without the need for a technician, while a robust metal casing provides better protection for components. Equipped with intelligent management features like QoS, VLAN, IGMP Snooping and more, this switch is effective in both simple and more demanding network environments.

Easy to Use

Connecting devices to TL-SG116E is simple. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Auto-negotiation on each port detects the link speed of a network device and intelligently adjusts settings for compatibility and optimal performance.

Durable Metal Casing

The interior components of TL-SG116E are protected by high-quality metal casing to ensure a long product life. Having passed an array of stringent reliability tests, TL-SG116E delivers switching performance you can depend on. Its compact size makes it ideal for deployment on desktops or work benches.

Additional Software Features

TL-SG116E excels not only in simple plug-and-play networks but also in more demanding environments. Network monitoring enables users to observe traffic behavior. Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention and Cable Diagnostics allow connection problems on your network to be identified and located. Administrators can designate the priority of traffic based on Port/802.1p/DSCP QoS, for example, to ensure that voice and video applications remain clear and lag-free. Combining security with network performance, TL-SG116E supports MTU VLAN, port-based VLAN and 802.1Q-based VLAN functions.

Go Green with Your Ethernet

TP-Link’s latest generation of Unmanaged Pro Switches make use of innovative energy-saving technologies. Power consumption automatically adjusts according to link status and cable length, allowing you to expand your network while minimizing your carbon footprint. Save the planet and lower your energy bills — it’s a win-win!

Switch type

What switch device has, managed or unmanaged.

Unmanaged


Switch layer

A network switch is a computer networking device that links networking segments. A switch has different layers, such as layer 2 (a network bridge, operating at the data link layer, interconnecting a small number of devices) and layer 4 (can act as a firewall, amongst other things).

Full duplex

A full-duplex system allows communication in both directions, and unlike half-duplex, allows this to happen simultaneously.




Link aggregation




Broadcast storm control




Rate limiting




Auto MDI/MDI-X

A Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) describes the interface (both physical and electrical) in a computer network from a physical layer implementation to the physical medium used to carry the transmission. Ethernet over twisted pair also defines a medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) interface. Auto-MDIX ports on newer network interfaces detect if the connection would require a crossover, and automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to properly match the other end of the link.




Auto-negotiation




Cable length detection




VLAN support

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) consists of a group of computers and switches that can be physically distributed over different networks and buildings, but form one LAN on a logical level.
