- Plug-and-play installation
- No software licensing required
- Immediate network connectivity
Energy Efficient Design
With only 4.50W power consumption, this switch reduces operational costs and heat output compared to higher-power alternatives.
- Low electricity usage
- Reduced cooling needs
- Environmentally compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch suits environments where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are priorities over advanced management features. Its 16-port capacity handles typical small-scale deployments, while the Fast Ethernet speed supports everyday file transfers, video streaming, and VoIP communications without bottlenecks for standard internet connections.
The lack of uplink ports makes it best used as a standalone switch or connected to a network's edge, rather than as an aggregation point. The desktop installation is particularly valuable in retail kiosks, classroom labs, or temporary office setups where permanent infrastructure is impractical.
Small Office Networking
Ideal for connecting computers, printers, and IP phones in offices with up to 16 devices, providing stable wired connections without wireless interference.
Home Network Expansion
Extends wired connectivity to gaming consoles, streaming devices, and workstations in residential settings, improving network reliability for bandwidth-intensive applications.
Physical Profile
The switch measures 8.27" wide by 2.88" deep by 1.73" high (210.06 mm x 73.15 mm x 43.94 mm) and weighs 1.81 lb (820 g), making it highly portable and easy to position in tight spaces. The desktop form factor includes a stable base for surface mounting, with ventilation designed for passive cooling in typical office environments.
The compact footprint conserves desk or shelf space while providing full front-panel access to all 16 RJ-45 ports. The sturdy construction ensures durability during relocation, and the low weight simplifies installation without requiring additional mounting hardware.

FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The Allied Telesis AT-FS710/16E-60 provides 16 Fast Ethernet ports, allowing direct connection of up to 16 network devices such as computers, printers, IP phones, or access points. Each port supports twisted pair cabling for distances up to 100 meters, making it suitable for small to medium-sized network deployments.
Is this a managed or unmanaged switch?
This is an unmanaged switch, meaning it requires no configuration, management software, or ongoing administration. It operates automatically with plug-and-play functionality, making it ideal for users who need simple network expansion without IT expertise. The switch includes Layer 2 features like IGMP snooping and spanning tree that work without user intervention.
What is the maximum data transfer speed?
The switch supports Fast Ethernet technology with 10/100Base-TX network standards, delivering data transfer speeds up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) per port. This speed is sufficient for typical office applications, internet browsing, file sharing, and standard-definition video streaming across a local network.
