GS116

Power up Your Small Network to Gigabit Speeds

Now you can have a powerful, high-speed network on a small scale. NETGEAR’s ProSafe

GS116 Gigabit Ethernet Switch lets you build a system that provides full, dedicated 1000 Mbps

connections so you can move very large ﬁles across your network instantly. The standards-based

GS116 helps to protect your existing and future network infrastructure investments by painlessly

integrating other 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices. This potent switch is ideal for workgroups or

quickly upgrading workstations to full Gigabit speed, plus it’s packed with ease-of-use features

to simplify your workday experience. It’s compact design ﬁts neatly into small work spaces and,

since it’s self-cooling without a fan, it runs silently and unobtrusively.

Power-Packed

Moves huge ﬁles fast! Features 16 high-speed, auto-switching 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet

connections. And because copper Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you can get up

to 2000 Mbps on each port. The GS116 supports jumbo frames up to 9,000 Bytes for extra

large transfers.

Versatile

Integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network and will honor Layer 2

802.1p and Layer 3 DSCP trafﬁc priority tags. Every port automatically senses the right speed

and full/ half duplex mode, while Auto Uplink

technology automatically adjusts for straight-

through or crossover cables.

Accommodating

LEDs embedded in each of the 16 RJ-45 jacks make for easy monitoring. Space-saving

dimensions are ideal for desktop or wall-mounting in home, small ofﬁce, workgroups,

departments and conference room environments. Its durable metal case has no fan for silent

operation. Compatible with PC, Macintosh, Unix, or Linux operating systems.

Solid

Providing plug-and-play simplicity with exceptional performance and reliability, the GS116 is a

cost-effective solution for your growing network. This switch is made to last and NETGEAR backs

it with a lifetime warranty.
