Whether you’re expanding your surveillance system, upgrading your office communications, or simply adding reliable PoE power where you need it most, this Netgear switch is a practical, future-proof choice that scales with your growing network needs.

  • Powerful PoE/PoE+ capability: The GS116PP delivers a total PoE budget of 183W across 16 ports. This means you can energize multiple PoE-enabled devices—such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and small IoT devices—from a single, centralized switch. The PoE+ ports support higher power delivery, enabling reliable operation of devices that require more than standard PoE, while still leaving headroom for additional devices as your network grows. This makes it an ideal choice for security deployments, retail environments, and small offices seeking to simplify power delivery without tangled cables or power injectors.
  • 16-Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto-sensing and cross-compatibility: Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation, ensuring optimal speed and compatibility with a wide range of devices. Auto-MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, simplifying installation and reducing cabling errors. The result is fast, reliable data transfer across all connected devices, whether you’re streaming high-definition video from IP cameras, transferring large files between workstations, or running bandwidth-heavy applications on your network.
  • Unmanaged, plug-and-play operation: Designed for simplicity and reliability, this switch requires no management interface or configuration. Simply connect your PoE devices to the ports, link the switch to your router or core network, and power up. The auto-detection and PoE negotiation happen automatically, so devices receive the power they need and data connectivity is established instantly. This is perfect for environments where IT resources are limited or where rapid deployment is essential.
  • Desktop-friendly, quiet, and durable design: The GS116PP is built for quiet operation in office and retail environments. Its fanless, desktop form factor keeps noise to a minimum while delivering steady performance. The compact footprint helps you avoid clutter, and the durable build ensures long-term reliability under everyday use. The 54V PoE standard support and robust power management contribute to efficient operation, ensuring devices receive stable power without compromising energy efficiency.
  • Reliability, warranty, and value: Netgear brings trusted engineering and a reputation for dependable networking gear. The GS116PP’s design emphasizes durability and long-term value with a substantial PoE budget and 16 ports in a single, centralized device. The product line is backed by a lifetime warranty on many components, reflecting Netgear’s confidence in its longevity and commitment to customer satisfaction. For small businesses and home offices investing in a scalable, future-ready PoE solution, this switch represents a strong balance of performance, reliability, and cost.

How to install Netgear 16-Port 183W PoE/PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch

Step 1: Decide on a placement. Choose a stable, accessible location on a desk or shelf where cables can run cleanly and devices are within reach of power outlets and your router. The GS116PP is designed for desktop use, so you don’t need rack rails or mounting hardware unless you prefer a mounted setup. Consider cable management options to keep the workspace tidy and minimize accidental unplugging.

Step 2: Power the switch. Connect the power adapter to a suitable outlet and plug it into the switch. The LED indicators on the front panel will illuminate to confirm power is present. Because this is a PoE-capable device, you can begin powering PoE devices as soon as the switch is connected to your network. This simplifies deployments such as security cameras and IP phones, which can boot immediately after power is available.

Step 3: Connect your devices. Use standard Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cables to connect PoE-enabled devices to the 16 PoE ports. For devices that do not require power through the switch, you can still connect them to any available port to extend network access across your LAN. Remember, this is a plug-and-play solution—no setup wizard or configuration is needed, so devices will start communicating with your network as soon as they’re connected and powered.

Step 4: Link to your network backbone. Connect a non-PoE device (or the router) to any port on the GS116PP to bridge your PoE-powered devices with the rest of your network. If you’re integrating IP cameras, phones, or APs, ensure they’re positioned to maximize coverage while keeping PoE-powered devices within reach of the system’s power budget. The switch’s auto-negotiation will automatically set port speed to the highest available rate, ensuring optimal performance without manual tuning.

Step 5: Verify operation and tidy up. Once connected, verify the PoE devices power on and data indicators on the switch ports illuminate. Use cable ties or organizers to keep cables neat, and label critical connections for easier maintenance. Because it’s a silent, fanless design, you’ll experience quiet operation even in shared spaces, supporting a productive work environment while ensuring reliable network access for all connected devices.
