Netgear GS516PP-100NAS 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Unmanaged Switch
Overview?
The Netgear GS516PP-100NAS is a high-density, unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered to streamline network expansion in small-to-medium business (SMB) environments and branch offices. Featuring 16 ports of dedicated PoE+ (802.3at) connectivity, this unit provides a robust 260W total power budget. This makes it an ideal solution for powering high-draw edge devices such as WiFi 6 access points, PTZ IP cameras, and high-definition VoIP handsets without the need for complex software configuration or additional electrical wiring at the device location.
Designed for deployment at the network edge or within a localized wiring closet, the GS516PP-100NAS offers a true plug-and-play experience. It eliminates the administrative overhead of VLAN tagging or IP management, which is critical for IT teams prioritizing rapid deployment and low-maintenance infrastructure. The internal power supply and sturdy metal housing ensure long-term durability and consistent performance in professional settings. By integrating this switch, infrastructure engineers can resolve power-starved edge scenarios while maintaining full non-blocking gigabit throughput across all 16 ports, ensuring zero bottlenecks for local traffic.
