Gigabit Speed for Every Device
The DGS-1016S brings Gigabit Ethernet speed to all 16 ports, offering a combined switching capacity of 32 Gbps. Whether you're connecting computers, smart TVs, gaming consoles, NAS devices, IP cameras, or access points, every device benefits from ultra-fast data transfer speeds. The switch supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX crossover, automatically detecting the optimal connection speed and cable type for hassle-free setup.
Advanced Energy-Saving Technology
The DGS-1016S is built with D-Link Green Technology and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet standards. The switch intelligently detects when ports are idle or have no link and automatically transitions them to a low-power state, substantially reducing overall power consumption. Additionally, the switch features cable-length detection, which adjusts power usage based on the length of cable connected to each port, using only the power necessary for reliable data transmission. These energy-saving features combine to lower your electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
Quality of Service for Smooth Performance
With IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) support, the DGS-1016S intelligently prioritises network traffic to ensure that time-sensitive data – such as VoIP calls, video conferencing, and streaming media – is delivered smoothly even during periods of high network activity. QoS ensures an all-around better network experience, whether you're working from home, streaming 4K content, or gaming online.
Slim, Silent, and Built to Last
The DGS-1016S features a compact, low-profile metal housing that measures just 280 mm × 110 mm × 25 mm, making it easy to place on a desktop, shelf, or mount on a wall. The fanless design ensures completely silent operation, making it ideal for home offices, conference rooms, classrooms, and entertainment centres. The durable metal construction enhances heat dissipation and ensures long-term reliability.
