Switch Description

The 16-port DGS-1016D and 24-port DGS-1024D Switches provide dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth on each port. The ports will automatically detect the speed, duplex and MDI/MDIX status of the device it is connecting to, and adjust these settings accordingly. The Switch ports can be used to network computers, printers, servers, routers, other switches or any device equipped with an Ethernet port. For best performance, use Category 5 or better Ethernet cabling.

This stand-alone Switch is very easy to set up, there is no network management required. Just power on the Switch and connect the cables. Keep in mind however that the standard rules of Ethernet regarding cable length apply to this and all Ethernet devices. The length of an Ethernet cable from one device to another cannot exceed 100 meters (or 300 feet).
