16-Port 10/100Mbps Switch for SOHO/Workgroup10/100Mbps Unmanaged Switch The DES-1016D is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance workgroup performance while providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands.16 Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps PortsThe switch comes with 16 10/100Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly integrate to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.These intelligent ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, as well as between full and half-duplex.Flow Control for Secure TransmissionAll ports support flow control.This function minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full.Auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX Cross OverAll ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross over.This eliminates the need for cross over cables or uplink ports. Any port can simply plug to a server, a hub or a switch, using the usual straight-through twisted-pair cable.Plug-and-PlayWith 16 plug-and-play ports, the switch is a perfect choice for workgroups to upgrade performance in a client/server environment.The ports can be connected to servers in fullduplex, or hubs in half-duplex.Direct Connection to WorkstationsWith low-cost connection per-port, the switch can be set up for direct connection from the PCs.This relieves data bottleneck by giving each workstation a dedicated bandwidth on the network.Actual product appearance may differ from the image displayed on this pageFeaturesType of Ports Available10/100 Fast EthernetIEEE 802.1p QoSYesIEEE 802.3x Flow ControlYesANSI/IEEE 802.3 Nway Auto-NegotiationYesMAC Address Table Size8KNumber of Ports16 to 28 PortsPower over Ethernet Support PoE Ports availableSpecification16 10/100Mbps portsFull/half duplex support for each portMDI uplink port for easy expansionAuto-learning of network configurationFlow control in full duplex mode for protection against data lossBack pressure in half duplex modeRAM buffer dynamically allocated for each portPower PlugUK
