Netgear GS116LP-100NAS 16-port Gigabit Unmanaged Poe+ Switch

Product Description

The NETGEAR GS116LP-100NAS is a 16-port gigabit Ethernet unmanaged PoE+ switch designed for straightforward network installations that require Power over Ethernet delivery to connected devices. It operates without the need for managed configuration, making it a plug-and-play solution for technicians deploying IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and similar PoE-compatible devices. The switch supports gigabit speeds across all 16 ports and provides PoE+ power output, allowing it to supply higher wattage per port compared to standard PoE. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on this type of switch for both commercial and residential structured cabling projects.

This switch is suited for small to mid-size commercial installations and residential network deployments where centralized PoE power delivery is needed without the overhead of managed switch configuration. Typical applications include IP surveillance systems, wireless access point distribution, and VoIP infrastructure. It fits into standard network rack or wall enclosure installations and is appropriate for any setting where unmanaged gigabit switching with PoE+ capability is the right fit.

Key Features

• 16 gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support for high-wattage device power delivery
• Unmanaged operation requires no software configuration or login interface
• Plug-and-play deployment reduces installation time on structured cabling jobs
• Suitable for IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP endpoints
• Single-unit quantity per order as shipped from the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed as an unmanaged PoE+ gigabit switch compatible with any IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-enabled network device, including IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, on standard Cat5e or Cat6 structured cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed network installer familiar with structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect any upstream network equipment before making patch cable connections to avoid broadcast storms or loop conditions. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for termination and ensure the installation location provides adequate ventilation for the switch chassis. Do not exceed the total PoE power budget across all connected ports simultaneously.
