Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on Gigabit Ethernet technology (10/100/1000Base-T), the GS116LP supports twisted-pair cabling across all 16 ports, delivering full wire-speed performance for bandwidth-intensive applications. The switch operates at Layer 2, providing basic switching functions without the complexity of managed features.
Power is supplied through an external 90W adapter, with support for interchangeable power supplies (90W, 130W, 200W) to adjust PoE budgets as needed. The switch does not include uplink ports, stacking capability, or modular expansion, keeping the design focused on core connectivity.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

Small Office Networking
Connect computers, printers, and VoIP phones with PoE support for IP phones and wireless access points throughout the office.
Security & Surveillance
Power and connect multiple IP cameras from a central location, with the 76W PoE budget supporting typical camera power requirements.
Physical Profile
Measuring 3.27" high, 11.62" wide, and 14.74" deep, the GS116LP fits standard 19-inch rack configurations using the included rack-mount kit. The compact footprint also accommodates wall or desktop placement where rack space is limited. The 5.15-pound weight and metal construction provide durability for various installation environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.27" (83.06 mm), 11.62" (295.15 mm), 5.15 lb (2336 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
How many devices can this switch power with PoE?
The Netgear GS116LP provides 76W of total PoE budget across all 16 ports. With support for both 802.3af (up to 15.4W per port) and 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port), you can power multiple devices simultaneously. The exact number depends on each device's power requirements—for example, you could typically power 5-7 PoE+ devices at maximum power or more lower-power devices.
Can this switch be rack-mounted?
Yes, the GS116LP includes a rack-mounting kit for standard 19-inch rack installation. The switch measures 3.27" in height (approximately 2U when considering mounting hardware), 11.62" in width, and 14.74" in depth, making it compatible with most network racks. The package also includes wall-mount hardware for alternative installation options.
Does this switch support network management or configuration?
No, the GS116LP is an unmanaged switch designed for plug-and-play operation. It requires no software configuration, management interfaces, or setup beyond physical connection. This makes it ideal for environments where simple connectivity is needed without the complexity of managed switching features like VLANs, QoS, or monitoring.
What types of devices are compatible with the PoE ports?
The PoE ports support any IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant device, including VoIP phones, wireless access points, IP security cameras, and other network equipment that receives power over Ethernet. The switch automatically detects PoE requirements and delivers appropriate power, eliminating the need for separate power adapters for connected devices.
Can I use a different power adapter with this switch?
Yes, the GS116LP supports interchangeable external power supplies. While it ships with a 90W adapter, you can use compatible 130W or 200W power supplies to increase the available PoE budget. This flexibility allows you to adapt to changing power requirements without replacing the entire switch.
What warranty coverage does Netgear provide for this switch?
Netgear backs the GS116LP with a lifetime limited hardware warranty. This includes next-business-day replacement service and 24/7 chat support with NETGEAR experts. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term reliability assurance for your network investment.
