Netgear JGS516PE 16 Port Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Switch (8 Port PoE)

Features of Netgear JGS516PE 16 Port Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Switch (8 Port PoE)

The Netgear JGS516PE is a 16-port Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Switch with 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. It is designed to provide reliable and efficient network connectivity for small and medium-sized businesses or home office environments.

Here are some key features of the Netgear JGS516PE:

1. Port Configuration: The switch has 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which offer high-speed connectivity for your wired devices. Additionally, 8 of these ports are PoE enabled, allowing you to power PoE-compatible devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly from the switch without the need for separate power adapters.

2. PoE Support: The 8 PoE ports on the switch comply with the IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, providing power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies the installation process and eliminates the need for additional power outlets near the devices.

3. Power Budget: The switch has a total PoE power budget of up to 85 watts, which is shared among the 8 PoE ports. It's important to consider the power requirements of your PoE devices to ensure they can be adequately powered by the switch.

4. Smart Managed Plus: The JGS516PE offers basic management features, allowing you to configure and monitor the switch. It supports features such as VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) for network segmentation, QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize certain types of traffic, and port mirroring for network troubleshooting.

5. Energy-Efficient Design: The switch incorporates energy-saving features like auto power-down and the ability to adjust power consumption based on the cable length, reducing energy costs and promoting green networking.

6. Plug-and-Play: The switch is designed for easy installation and operation. It requires minimal configuration, and the ports are auto-sensing, meaning they can automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of connected devices.
