High-Density PoE Deployment
With 16 PoE-capable ports including 4 PoE++ ports, this switch can power numerous devices simultaneously while providing data connectivity, reducing cable clutter and installation complexity.
Flexible Network Expansion
The dual SFP slots enable fiber uplinks for connecting to other switches or extending network segments over longer distances, while the Layer 3 routing capabilities support complex network architectures.
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch excels in environments where both high-density connectivity and power delivery are essential. It serves as an excellent foundation for building dedicated LAN segments that connect PCs, laptops, printers, and other peripherals while powering network-attached devices.
The rack-mountable form factor with included mounting hardware makes it well-suited for data closet installations, while the desktop option with rubber feet provides flexibility for temporary deployments or smaller office environments.
IP Surveillance Systems
Ideal for security installations requiring multiple PoE cameras, with sufficient PoE++ ports for PTZ cameras and SFP uplinks for connecting to network video recorders.
Enterprise Edge Networking
Suitable for branch offices or department networks needing both wired connectivity for workstations and high-power PoE for wireless access points, with Layer 3 routing for segment traffic.
Physical Profile
The QGD-1600P-4G-US features a sturdy metal chassis designed for professional deployment. With dimensions of 6.30 inches in height, 20.79 inches in width, and 15.87 inches in depth, it occupies a single rack unit space while providing substantial port density. The switch includes both rack ears for standard 19-inch rack mounting and rubber feet for stable desktop placement.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.30" (160 mm), 20.79" (528 mm), 15.87" (403 mm), 9.72 lb (4410 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
