The Netgear GS316EP-100UKS 16-Port Gigabit Plus Switch with PoE+ is a
Gigabit Plus Smart Managed Switch offering
16 total ports with
15 PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) ports for powering IP devices such as cameras, phones, and access points. It includes
1 Gigabit SFP uplink port for flexible fiber connectivity, making it suitable for growing networks.
With a
123W PoE budget, fanless silent operation, and basic management features (VLANs, QoS, monitoring), it bridges the gap between unmanaged and fully managed switches.
