The TL-SG116E Unmanaged Pro switch is an upgrade for basic unmanaged switches, suitable for home and small business networks. It offers plug-and-play deployment without the need for a technician and a durable metal casing that protects internal components. The switch supports intelligent features such as QoS, VLAN and IGMP Snooping to meet both simple and more demanding network requirements.

Advantages

The switch provides straightforward installation with Auto MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation on all ports for automatic link speed detection and compatibility adjustment. Its metal housing enhances reliability and enables placement on desktops or workbenches. Additional features include network monitoring, Port Mirroring, Loop Prevention and Cable Diagnostics to help identify and locate connection issues, while QoS and VLAN functions allow traffic prioritization and segmentation.
