16-Port Gigabit Switch

The Netgear GS116-300NAS is an unmanaged desktop switch with sixteen RJ45 ports that auto-negotiate 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps speeds. It requires no software configuration and operates silently without a fan. The metal enclosure can sit on a desk or be attached to a wall using the included kit.

Upgrade from Slower Hubs

This switch replaces older 10/100 equipment or basic hubs that cannot deliver full duplex throughput. The jump is worth it when connected devices support Gigabit Ethernet and need consistent wire-speed performance. It also adds IEEE 802.1p and DSCP QoS so voice and video traffic receives priority over bulk data.

Non-Blocking Throughput Headroom

Each port handles up to 2000 Mbps in full duplex mode and the fabric forwards at non-blocking rates across all sixteen ports simultaneously. Power draw stays at 8.10 W under typical load thanks to IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet. The unit has no PoE capability, so devices requiring power over Ethernet will need separate injectors or a PoE switch.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the GS116-300NAS need for its 16 RJ45 ports and wall-mount brackets?

The desktop metal case measures compact with 16 front-facing RJ45 ports; the included wall-mount kit adds brackets that require a flat vertical surface and enough depth for cable bend radius.

Which step do installers most often skip when setting up this unmanaged switch?

Connecting the 12 V DC power adapter before plugging in any network cables; the switch has no on/off switch, so it powers on instantly once the adapter is seated.

What component will need attention first during long-term use of the GS116-300NAS?

The external 12 V DC power adapter is the only field-replaceable part; the fanless chassis has no filters or moving parts to service.
