EXPERT FEATURES

• 16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports : Connect up to 16 wired network devices with speeds up to 1000Mbps per port, giving offices, shops, workstations, printers, routers, and other compatible Ethernet devices plenty of room to breathe.
• 32Gbps Non-Blocking Bandwidth : The switch provides 32Gbps of non-blocking bandwidth, allowing simultaneous network traffic to move efficiently across its Gigabit ports instead of creating an unnecessary digital traffic jam.
• Unmanaged Plug-and-Play Design : No complicated management interface or configuration marathon is required—connect your Ethernet devices and the LGS116 is designed to extend the network with straightforward plug-and-play operation.
• Gigabit Transfer Speeds : Wired connections support speeds up to 1000Mbps, helping reduce transfer times and handle high-bandwidth file streaming between connected devices.
• 802.1p + DSCP QoS : Built-in Quality of Service support uses IEEE 802.1p and DSCP technologies to support traffic prioritization without turning this simple unmanaged switch into an IT-department science project.
• Jumbo Frame Support : Jumbo Frame compatibility supports larger Ethernet frames where used by compatible networking equipment and applications.
• 8K MAC Address Table : The switch supports an 8,000-entry MAC address table for identifying and forwarding traffic among connected Ethernet devices.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet : Compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet helps reduce unnecessary power usage during lighter network activity.
• Automatic Port Power-Down : Unused ports can automatically power down, helping the switch avoid wasting energy on connections that are doing absolutely nothing.
• Smart Power for Short Cables : Linksys includes smart power behavior for shorter cable runs as part of the LGS116’s power-saving feature set.
• Cable Detection + Sleep Mode : Power-saving functions include connected-cable detection and sleep mode for more efficient everyday operation.
• Port Status Light Control : A dedicated port-status switch lets users control the indicator lights instead of accepting permanent LED disco mode on the networking shelf.
• Broad IEEE Ethernet Compatibility : Support includes IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3ab, and 802.3az standards for compatibility across common Ethernet networking environments.
• Flexible Device Connectivity : Linksys specifically lists computers, routers, other switches, network printers, and other network devices as compatible device categories for connection to the LGS116.
• Wall-Mountable Design : The compact desktop switch can also be wall-mounted, giving network installers more flexibility when desks and shelves are already fighting for territory.
• DC 12V Power Input : The rear panel includes a DC 12V, 1A power connection for the switch.
