Netgear GS316PP-100NAS 16-port Gigabit Unmanaged Poe+ Switch

Product Description

The NETGEAR GS316PP-100NAS is a 16-port gigabit unmanaged PoE+ network switch designed for installations that demand high power delivery across multiple connected devices. It operates as a plug-and-play unit with no management interface required, making it a straightforward choice for network infrastructure work in commercial and residential settings. The switch supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) on its ports, allowing it to power IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones, and similar devices directly through the network cable without separate power supplies. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this equipment.

This switch is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial buildings, multi-tenant properties, and light industrial environments where centralized PoE power distribution is needed. It fits into network closets or equipment racks as a standalone unmanaged unit. Typical applications include security camera systems, wireless access point deployments, and VoIP phone networks where device count and power budget requirements favor a dedicated high-power PoE+ switch over a managed alternative.

Key Features

• 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support for high-power device connections
• Unmanaged operation — no configuration or software setup required
• High-power PoE+ budget suitable for demanding powered-device deployments
• Plug-and-play installation reduces commissioning time
• Compact form factor fits standard network closet or rack installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style unmanaged gigabit switch for use in standard IEEE 802.3at PoE+ network infrastructure installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network technician in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down any upstream network equipment and disconnect patch cables before replacing an existing switch. Do not exceed the total PoE power budget across all active ports simultaneously. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit in enclosed rack or closet installations.
