Eaton NGS16C2-1 Managed Network Switch

Overview :

The Eaton NGS16C2-1 (Tripp Lite Series) is a 16-port Layer 2 web-smart managed Gigabit Ethernet switch equipped with 2 dedicated SFP uplink slots. Network engineers, IT system administrators, and infrastructure procurement managers deploy this hardware to construct highly secure, loop-free network arrays inside corporate branch offices, edge distribution nodes, and server closets.

The platform provides a 36 Gbps internal switching capacity, enabling concurrent full-duplex wire-speed processing across all ports to prevent local data congestion. The pre-loaded Layer 2 management engine allows administrators to implement web-based traffic engineering through IGMP snooping, port trunking, 802.1Q VLAN isolation, and advanced RMON diagnostics. The dual mini-GBIC SFP fiber interface slots supply long-haul backhaul trunk lanes directly into core data center distribution backbones.

Occupying a 1U structural layout, this chassis mounts within standard 19-inch equipment racks using the included heavy-duty mounting flanges or operates on flat surfaces via protective rubber feet. The primary power input features an integrated IEC-320-C14 receptacle that matches the packed C14-to-C13 utility power cable. Avoid deploying this model for high-power IP cameras or VoIP handsets requiring Power over Ethernet, as the NGS16C2-1 is a non-PoE architecture that only passes data signaling.

Key Features :

• 16 auto-negotiating Gigabit RJ45 terminals supply fast local node access.

• Dual dedicated SFP uplink slots deliver long-haul fiber optic wire paths.

• Layer 2 web-smart software streamlines remote VLAN and trunking control.

• Fanless chassis architecture guarantees completely silent server room operation.

• Energy Efficient Ethernet features automatically scale down unused port power.
