16-Port 10/100Mbps Switch for SOHO/Workgroup 10/100Mbps Unmanaged Switch The DES-1016D is an unmanaged 10/100Mbps switch designed to enhance workgroup performance while providing a high level of flexibility. Powerful yet easy to use, this device allows users to simply plug any port to either a 10Mbps or 100Mbps network to multiply bandwidths, boost response time and satisfy heavy load demands. 16 Auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ports The switch comes with 16 10/100Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly integrate to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. These intelligent ports detect the network speed and auto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, as well as between full and half-duplex. Flow Control for Secure Transmission All ports support flow control. This function minimizes dropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full.
