Desktop or Rackmount: Compact 1RU design fits on a desk or mounts in a standard 19-inch rack
High-Speed Gigabit Performance
The DGS-1016D brings Gigabit speed to every port, providing up to 2000 Mbps per port in full-duplex mode. Each port auto-negotiates 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, making it compatible with legacy Fast Ethernet devices while delivering the full performance of modern Gigabit equipment. The switch features store-and-forward switching, a 32 Gbps switching fabric, and an 8K MAC address table for scalable, high-throughput networking even in demanding environments.
Energy-Efficient & Eco-Friendly
Built with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), the DGS-1016D conserves energy by automatically reducing power consumption when data activity is low or when ports have no link. It also detects cable length and optimises power usage accordingly, cutting energy costs without sacrificing performance. The switch is RoHS-compliant and uses recyclable packaging, making it an environmentally responsible choice for any business network.
Advanced Network Features
The DGS-1016D includes a front-panel 3-pin DIP switch for real-time toggling of Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Flow Control, Port Isolation, and Storm Control. These features help improve network reliability, mitigate broadcast storms, and reduce packet loss when buffers are full. Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables, and diagnostic LEDs (Power, Link/Activity, Speed) provide instant visibility into port status and network health.
Versatile Installation
The compact, durable metal housing makes the DGS-1016D suitable for desktop placement, wall mounting, or rackmounting in a standard 19-inch rack (1RU height). Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it perfect for offices, classrooms, retail spaces, and creative studios where noise must be kept to a minimum.
Reliable Connectivity for Growing Networks
Whether you're upgrading network infrastructure, connecting workstations, or linking printers and servers, the DGS-1016D provides a cost-effective, scalable solution. It supports 9216-byte jumbo frames for improved performance with large data transfers, and its IEEE 802.3x flow control minimises dropped packets during high-traffic periods. D-Link backs the DGS-1016D with a Limited Lifetime Warranty (where applicable), ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.
