Highlights
Affordable Power over Ethernet Switching
The ProSAFE FS116P provides power and data from a single point, using Power 
over Ethernet (PoE) over a single Cat-5 cable. The sixteen Fast Ethernet ports 
can be used for any 10/100 Mbps link and eight of these ports can supply 
industry-standard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced auto-sensing algorithm  
gives power only to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about damaging 
proprietary PoE or non-PoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power 
when PoE devices are disconnected. Easy and reliable, the ProSAFE FS116P 
automatically determines PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type  
using AutoUplink™.
The affordably priced ProSAFE FS116P delivers PoE to any small business 
network that wants to simplify the installation of VoIP phones, wireless access 
points and IP-based surveillance cameras. These devices are optimally installed 
on a ceiling or high on a wall, away from most electrical outlets. PoE eliminates 
the requirement for a dedicated electrical outlet to power these devices. This 
allows for flexibility in situating devices where AC power is difficult to access and 
lowers installation costs. Compact and flexible, the ProSAFE FS116P is ideal for 
small business network that want to inexpensively use PoE to deploy IP phones, 
wireless access points and IP-based network surveillance cameras.
Flexible
• Choose to plug in up to 16 Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet devices and mix in up
to eight 802.3af IP-based devices like
wireless access points or IP-based network
surveillance cameras. Place these 802.3 
af-compliant devices where they belong -
high up on walls and ceiling for maximum
coverage - or anywhere else you need
them. Power and data are carried over
standard CAT-5 cabling.
Plug and Play
• The standards-based ProSAFE FS116P
senses and adjusts for network speed
and cabling type automatically for easy
integration into your existing 10/100
Ethernet network. For PoE, the switch
automatically detects 802.3af compliant
devices and supplies power as needed.
Front panel LEDs keep you informed of
switch and PoE status.
Quiet and Compact
• Engineered for compact convenience, the
FS116P is only 1-inch high and 4-inches
deep with a durable metal case that is
easily positioned on your desktop or a wall,
using the included mounting hardware. The
fanless design quietly integrates in your
small office environment.
Energy Efficient
• FS116P supports the latest Energy Efficient
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) standard, which
reduces energy consumption when there is
light traffic on an active ports or when there
is no link or no activity detected. It can
further saves energy when a short cable
(<100m) is used.
