Netgear GS116PP-100NAS 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch
Overview
The Netgear GS116PP-100NAS is a high-density, unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) requiring robust Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities without the administrative overhead of Layer 2/3 management. This unit features 16 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, all of which support the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard. It is particularly effective in edge deployments, such as branch offices or retail environments, where powering multiple IP surveillance cameras, VoIP handsets, and wireless access points is a primary requirement.
A critical technical differentiator is Netgear?s FlexPoE technology. The GS116PP ships with a 200W power adapter providing a 183W total PoE budget, but this can be scaled by swapping the external power supply, allowing infrastructure teams to adjust power capacity as device density changes. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like open-plan offices or healthcare facilities. Built with a durable metal housing, it supports desktop, wall, or rack-mount installations. For engineers seeking a “plug-and-play” solution that balances high power density with physical deployment flexibility, the GS116PP provides a reliable, maintenance-free backbone for modern Powered Device (PD) ecosystems.

- Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the PoE budget be increased on this model? Yes, the GS116PP features FlexPoE technology. By upgrading the external power adapter to a higher wattage unit, you can increase the total PoE budget to support higher-density deployments.
- Is this switch suitable for mounting in a standard 19-inch server rack? Yes, the GS116PP-100NAS includes a rack-mount kit in the box, along with the necessary hardware for wall-mount and desktop placement.
- Does this switch require any software configuration for PoE priority? No, this is a fully unmanaged switch. It automatically manages power allocation based on the connected devices’ requirements and the total available power budget without any manual configuration.
