Expand a wired LAN with 16 auto-negotiating Gigabit Ethernet connections for desktops, printers, servers, storage, wireless access points, or uplinks. The TP-Link TL-SG1016D operates without switch-management configuration and automatically selects 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps link speed per connected device. Auto MDI/MDIX detects cable wiring, removing the need to select crossover cables for Ethernet connections. Its 32 Gbps switching capacity supports simultaneous traffic across the port set, while the 8K MAC address table maintains forwarding entries for connected endpoints. Support for 10,000-byte jumbo frames can accommodate larger Ethernet frames where the attached network equipment is configured for them. IEEE 802.3x flow control manages traffic flow on full-duplex links. Passive cooling avoids a fan in the switch chassis, making this model suited to desk, shelf, or low-noise wiring locations. Front-panel power, Gigabit, link, and activity indicators provide immediate physical-link status during installation and troubleshooting. The unit accepts 100 to 240 VAC input power and operates in ambient temperatures from 0 to 40 °C. This 16-port model fits deployments that need more copper Gigabit connections than compact five- or eight-port switches while retaining unmanaged operation.
