D-Link DES-1016D: 16Port Switch, 100Mbps

The D-Link unmanaged Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Switch DES-1016D enhances network performance and offers users a high degree of flexibility. With its 16 autosensing 10/100 Mbit RJ-45 ports, the switch detects the speed of connected devices and automatically switches between 10 Mbit and 100 Mbit. At the same time, it independently recognizes whether Half or Full Duplex mode is possible and adjusts accordingly. For easy network expansion, users have two MDI Uplink ports available, allowing for the cascading of the DES-1016D with two additional switches. Up to 4 ports can be combined via the port trunking function to create a high-speed connection of up to 800 Mbit in Full Duplex operation (switch-to-switch or switch-to-server). This enables transmission speeds close to the Gigabit Ethernet range, providing a cost-effective high-speed solution for local backbone networks. The switch automatically recognizes the configuration of the existing network and provides plug-and-play connections for workgroups with mixed bandwidths.
