Upgrade your network with the TP-Link TL-SG116 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch, a compact, reliable solution designed for small offices, home offices, classrooms, and storefronts that demand fast, seamless connectivity. This unmanaged, plug-and-play switch brings true Gigabit Ethernet to your desk without the complexity of configuration, enabling faster file transfers, smoother video streaming, and quicker access to networked resources like NAS storage, printers, and servers. With 16 ports supporting auto-negotiation on 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and a durable metal enclosure, the TL-SG116 is built for durability and consistent performance in everyday network environments. It’s the kind of device that quietly accelerates your day-to-day operations by removing bottlenecks between devices and the backbone of your network.

  • Upgrade to Gigabit speed across your entire local network with 16 auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports that handle desktops, servers, NAS devices, printers, IP cameras, and other Ethernet-enabled gear at full or mixed speeds as needed.
  • Plug-and-play simplicity means no management, no configuration, and no specialized IT skills required. Just connect power, plug in your devices with standard Ethernet cables, and you’re ready to go, delivering immediate performance improvements.
  • Non-blocking switching architecture and a high-capacity internal backplane maximize throughput, so multiple devices can transfer files, stream HD video, and back up data simultaneously without slowing each other down.
  • Quiet, fanless operation paired with a rugged metal housing makes the TL-SG116 ideal for quiet office spaces, classrooms, or home environments where silence and durability matter as much as speed.
  • Auto-MDI/MDIX on all ports and intelligent link detection simplify setup and compatibility, ensuring your existing cables and devices work with minimal fuss and maximum reliability.
