NETGEAR GS316EP 15-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch with SFP, 180W

The NETGEAR GS316EP 15-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch delivers simplified, cost-effective network management combined with robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) flexibility, making it a perfect fit for home offices and small business networks.

Providing an ample 180W total PoE budget, this switch adheres to the 802.3af/at+ standard across all its 15 RJ45 ports, supplying up to 30W per port. This enables you to power and connect a wide array of devices, such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras, using a single cable for both data and power. Features like uninterruptible PoE help optimise network performance and simplify troubleshooting.

As a fully managed switch, it offers essential networking features for optimised control. This includes support for up to 64 VLANs to segment network traffic, Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritisation, and IGMP Snooping (v1/v2/v3) to efficiently manage multicast traffic on business networks. For troubleshooting, it includes a handy cable test facility, port mirroring, loop detection, and broadcast storm controls.

The switch boasts a high-performance backplane with 32 Gb/s switching bandwidth and support for 9K jumbo frames to enhance data throughput. An additional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slot allows for flexible fibre or copper uplink connections to expand your network's reach. Setup is straightforward via an intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) and companion PC utility software.

Housed in a compact, desktop or wall-mountable casing, it is supplied with a UK mains plug (type G).
