D-Link DGS-1016D 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch — Fanless | DIP Switch | D-Link Green | MTCTE Certified

The D-Link DGS-1016D is built for SOHO environments, small and medium businesses, educational labs, retail stores, and office networks who need a full Gigabit 16-port unmanaged switch with built-in Storm Control, Port Isolation, cable diagnostics, and surge protection — features rarely found in unmanaged switches at this port count. It is well-suited for environments connecting desktops, laptops, NAS devices, IP cameras, VoIP phones, printers, and servers at Gigabit speeds, and for offices concerned about network stability, broadcast storm resilience, and equipment protection in areas with unstable power or lightning risk.

The DGS-1016D delivers sixteen 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports with 32 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and a maximum forwarding rate of 23.81 Mpps for wire-speed Gigabit performance across all sixteen ports simultaneously — 10x faster than Fast Ethernet switches. Auto MDI/MDIX on every port eliminates crossover cable requirements for seamless device connection. A unique front-panel 3-pin DIP switch enables real-time toggling of four key network functions without rebooting or connecting to a management interface: Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), 802.3x Flow Control for packet loss prevention, Port Isolation for security-sensitive environments requiring per-port traffic separation, and Storm Control to protect the network against broadcast storms caused by rogue software or malware. Built-in cable diagnostics enable quick identification of cable faults, open circuits, and short circuits without needing external test equipment. The fully fanless design and compact durable metal casing ensure completely silent, reliable operation with effective passive heat dissipation — suitable for open-plan offices, classrooms, and desk deployments. Surge and lightning protection of ±1kV on both AC power input and all sixteen Ethernet ports, alongside 8kV air discharge and 4kV contact discharge ESD protection, delivers robust hardware-level protection for all connected equipment. D-Link Green Technology automatically powers down ports with no link and optimises power usage by cable length, while EEE further reduces power during low-activity periods. A large 8K MAC address table and 10,000-byte jumbo frame support handle large-scale concurrent device connections and high-throughput data transfers for NAS, file servers, and multimedia streaming. RoHS-compliant and packaged in recyclable materials.
