Gigabit on Every Port
The 16/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series brings the speed of Gigabit Ethernet
to each and every port for a truly high-speed network. If your network has a mix of
legacy and modern computing capabilities, each port allows for standard Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet connections. You have the latest technology available to
every computer and device connected to your network.

Innovative Design
The sleek plastic case of the DGS-1016A/1024A series is an industry first for a Gigabit
SOHO/SMB switch. Using a compact desktop style helps reduce heat levels and allow
for a fanless design, making the switches silent, as well as economical. The 16/24-Port
Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series is small, lightweight, wall-mountable, and ideal for
any business with big needs and a small budget.

Conserves Energy
The 16/24-Port Unmanaged Gigabit Switch series helps you conserve energy
automatically through several methods. It automatically powers down ports that have
no link, allowing the switch to save substantial amounts of power by cutting power
usage for unused ports or any ports connected to computers that have been shut
down. It can also detect connected cable lengths, and adjusts power usage accordingly,
helping you save energy without affecting networking performance.
