Edimax 16/24-Port Gigabit/Fast Ethernet Rack-Mount Switches – Edimax GS-1016, This 16-port rack-mount switch from Edimax is designed for medium and large networks, in order to strengthen its network connection. Attached are brackets for rack mounting. The 19in-switch fits into your rack cabinet and is an excellent choice to make your network more efficient. Compliance with IEEE Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)The switch offers environmental friendliness with gigabit ethernet speeds that are critical for network applications of the next generation. To meet the standard IEEE 802.3az, the switch provides power saving features, so that energy consumption and costs are reduced. Detection of dead linksThe function to adjust energy use reduces energy use automatically when an unpowered network device or inactive link is detected. That is, the energy consumption of the switch can be adjusted according to the link status or the number of active network devices when possible. Cable length detectionThe devices that are equipped with this eco-friendly feature can automatically detect the length of connected ethernet cables and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less energy is consumed. Supports high-speed networking and jumbo framesThe switch is an excellent solution for expanding your Gigabit network. With Gigabit speed, the GS-1016 offers high flexibility and high bandwidth connection to servers, workstations and other attached devices. This allows you to save time when large files are transferred. It also supports jumbo frames 9K, so you can take advantage of the network when transferring large files better. Design without fanSince the design without fan ensures quiet operation in small offices, the switch is the perfect solution for use in small offices and home office rooms. Supports auto-negotiationEach port of the GS-1016 can automatically detect the connected network devices that work with 10s or 100 Mbit/s full/half duplex mode and 1000 Mbit/full duplex mode. The GS-1016 can adjust the speed and mode accordingly. Supports non-blocking wire speedThe switch receives and sends traffic seamlessly with its non-blocking wire speed. All connections have simultaneously a speed of up to 2000 Mbit/s full-duplex mode. This property provides all connected devices full wire speed and allows you to work smoothly with a high-speed network. Supports store-and-forward architectureWith the store-and-forward architecture fragment and CRC error packets are filtered so that the switch can improve network performance by reducing the spread of bad network packets.
