Netgear GS316EPP-100NAS 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Plus Switch
Overview?
The Netgear GS316EPP-100NAS is a high-density PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Plus switch engineered to bridge the gap between unmanaged plug-and-play devices and complex fully managed enterprise solutions. Featuring 16 total copper ports, 15 of which support the 802.3at PoE+ standard, this switch delivers a substantial 231W total power budget. This capacity makes it a reliable choice for powering high-draw edge devices such as WiFi 6 access points, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) IP cameras, and high-definition VoIP hardware in branch offices or small-to-medium business environments.
As part of the Netgear Plus management tier, the GS316EPP provides essential Layer 2 networking features. Administrators can utilize VLANs for traffic segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) for voice and video prioritization, and IGMP snooping for multicast stream optimization. The hardware is housed in a durable metal chassis with a fanless design, ensuring silent operation in noise-sensitive areas like open-plan offices or conference rooms. Its flexible mounting options allow for desktop or rackmount deployment, providing a versatile solution for infrastructure upgrades where power density and silent operation are primary requirements.
