- Plug-and-play operation
- No software configuration needed
- Immediate network expansion
Power Efficiency
The 220W PoE budget intelligently allocates power to connected devices, while the 260W total power consumption represents efficient energy use for the port count and capabilities.
- Optimized power distribution
- Energy-efficient operation
- Reduced cable clutter
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch serves as an ideal foundation for small business networks, retail environments, and professional offices requiring reliable wired connectivity with PoE support. The combination of 16 ports and substantial PoE budget makes it suitable for mixed-device environments.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting desktop computers, network printers, IP surveillance systems, VoIP phones, and wireless access points in a single consolidated network segment. The uplink port enables cascading to additional switches or connection to network routers for broader network integration.
Small Office Networking
Deploy as the central network switch in offices with 10-15 workstations, supporting both data and power for IP phones and wireless access points without separate power infrastructure.
Retail and Hospitality
Use for point-of-sale systems, digital signage, security cameras, and guest networking access points, with the rack-mountable design keeping equipment organized behind counters or in server closets.
Physical Profile
The switch features a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor with dimensions optimized for standard equipment racks. The steel construction provides durability while the included 19" mounting brackets ensure secure installation. The front panel includes clearly labeled ports and status indicators for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (43.94 mm), 17.40" (441.96 mm), 8.19" (208.03 mm), 8.38 lb (3800 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
