16-port 10 Gigabit smart switch
This Netgear XS516TM-100NAS provides 16 RJ45 ports and 2 SFP+ uplinks for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It targets small to medium businesses needing managed Layer 3 switching without PoE. The smart management interface offers configurable L2+ and L3 Lite features for traffic control. Buyers requiring Power over Ethernet for access points or cameras should look elsewhere.
Desktop wall or rack mounting flexibility
The unit supports desktop, wall mount, or rack mount placement to suit different installation environments. Sixteen copper ports handle standard twisted-pair cabling while two dedicated SFP+ slots accept fibre or direct-attach cables for uplinks. Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power draw during low-traffic periods. No PoE circuitry means simpler thermal management and lower idle consumption.
Limited lifetime hardware warranty coverage
NETGEAR backs the switch with a limited lifetime hardware warranty for the original purchaser. Smart management features include VLAN, QoS, and basic routing functions accessible through a web browser. The 16 multi-gigabit RJ45 ports auto-negotiate speeds down to 100 Mbps for legacy devices. No bundled software licences or transceivers are included in the package.
