D-Link DES-1016D/B 16-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Features in Kenya

16 Fast Ethernet Ports

The DES-1016D/B provides sixteen 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports for connecting desktop computers, printers, network storage, IP-based equipment and other wired devices. This makes it suitable for expanding existing office and business LAN infrastructure.

Simple Plug-and-Play Installation

As an unmanaged network switch, the DES-1016D/B requires no software installation or complicated configuration. Connect the Ethernet cables and power on the switch to begin expanding your wired network immediately.

3.2 Gbps Switching Capacity

A switching capacity of 3.2 Gbps provides dependable traffic handling across connected Fast Ethernet devices, supporting everyday office applications, internet access, file sharing and other network services.

Store-and-Forward Switching

The switch uses store-and-forward architecture to inspect incoming Ethernet frames before forwarding them to their destination. This helps prevent corrupted packets from being propagated through the network and contributes to reliable data transmission.

Auto-Negotiation on Every Port

Each Ethernet port automatically detects the supported connection speed and duplex mode of the connected device, helping ensure appropriate network settings without requiring manual configuration.

Auto MDI/MDIX Support

Auto MDI/MDIX functionality automatically detects the Ethernet cable connection type, eliminating the need to distinguish between straight-through and crossover cables when connecting computers, switches and other network devices.

IEEE 802.3x Flow Control

IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex connections and back pressure for half-duplex operation help regulate traffic during periods of congestion, reducing packet loss and improving network stability.

Energy-Efficient Operation

IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet technology helps lower power consumption by reducing energy usage when network links are inactive or experiencing low traffic, making the switch economical for continuous business operation.

8,000-Entry MAC Address Table

An 8K MAC address table enables the switch to efficiently learn and maintain connected device addresses, supporting reliable traffic forwarding across growing wired networks.

Durable Metal Construction

The robust metal enclosure provides durability for long-term business use while helping protect internal components in offices, network cabinets and other professional installations.

Desktop or Rack-Mounted Deployment

The DES-1016D/B can be deployed on a desktop or installed in a compatible network rack, giving businesses flexibility when organizing networking equipment in offices, communication rooms and network cabinets.
