All 16 ports support auto MDI\/MDIX, no need to worry about the cable type, simply plug and play. Moreover, with the innovative energy-efficient technology, the TL-SG1016 can save power consumption and 80% of the packaging material can be recycled, making it an eco-friendly solution for your business network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new generation TL-SG1016 Gigabit Switch features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status to limit the carbon footprint of your network. It also complies with the RoHS, prohibiting the use of certain hazardous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 16 ports are Gigabit RJ-45 ports which can provide large file transferring and also be compatible with 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet devices. Featuring non-blocking switching architecture, TL-SG1016 forwards and filters packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. With 10KB Jumbo frame, the performance of large file transfers is improved significantly. And IEEE 802.3x flow control for Full Duplex mode and backpressure for Half Duplex mode alleviate the traffic congestion and make The TL-SG1016 work reliably. It's a perfect choice to update your network to Gigabit while protecting your previous investment properly. The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetworking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eTP-Link\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eStandards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eIEEE 802.3i, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003ePort type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e16 × RJ45 10\/100\/1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation and auto MDI\/MDIX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eMaximum cable distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e100 m (UTP category 3, 4, 5 or above)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eMAC address table\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e8K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eFlow control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eIEEE 802.3x (Full Duplex) and backpressure (Half Duplex)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eSwitching capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e32 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003ePacket forwarding rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e23.8 Mpps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eSwitching architecture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNon-blocking, Store-and-Forward\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eJumbo frame support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e10 KB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePorts \u0026amp;
