D-Link DGS-F1016P 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged PoE Switch

The DGS-F1016P 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch provides data connectivity and electrical power through standard Ethernet cabling. It suits businesses that need to connect several compatible access points, Internet Protocol cameras, or other powered network devices. With 16 Gigabit PoE ports, two Gigabit SFP uplinks, and a 300W power budget, it supports organised network deployment with fewer separate power adapters.

Product Overview

The DGS-F1016P features 16 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports that support Power over Ethernet. Therefore, each compatible device can receive network data and power through one cable. This approach simplifies installation, especially where electrical sockets are not available near the connected equipment.

Two Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable uplink ports provide additional connectivity to compatible switches or network infrastructure. Moreover, the unmanaged design requires no software configuration. The switch automatically handles basic network traffic, making it practical for straightforward professional installations.

Key Features

• Provides 16 Gigabit PoE ports, allowing compatible devices to receive power and data through the same Ethernet cable.

• Offers a shared 300W PoE budget, supporting several powered devices within the available total capacity.

• Supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at, ensuring standard power delivery to compatible network equipment.

• Includes two Gigabit SFP uplink ports, providing flexible fibre connections through suitable transceivers.

• Supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds across its copper ports.

• Uses flow control to manage traffic during congestion and help protect against possible data loss.

• Supports Gigabit Ethernet over twisted-pair copper cabling through the IEEE 802.3ab standard.

• Supports Gigabit fibre connections through the IEEE 802.3z standard.

• Requires no advanced configuration, which helps reduce deployment time in standard networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 300W PoE budget allocated?

The 300W capacity forms a shared power budget across the 16 PoE ports. Therefore, the total demand from all connected devices must remain within this limit.

Can both SFP ports connect to fibre links?

Each Gigabit SFP port accepts a compatible transceiver. The required module and fibre cable depend on the connector type, fibre mode, and transmission distance.

Does the switch require configuration before installation?

The unmanaged design operates without software configuration. Installers can connect compatible network devices and uplinks directly.

Which PoE standards does the DGS-F1016P support?

The DGS-F1016P 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at powered devices.
