Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch | Linksys SR2016 instruction

Wire-speed switching and Linksys reliability in a 16-port Gigabit switch

The 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit net- work clients. Drop this switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your net- work from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user's requirements. Either way, it's perfect for graphics, multime- dia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly.

With the 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server back- bone without any additional equipment. All ports have auto- matic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automati- cally negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full- duplex mode. Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. Fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network.

World famous Linksys reliability and the limited lifetime warranty give you peace of mind and the rackmount form factor inte- grates smoothly into your network infrastructure. Let the Linksys 16-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch kick your network into high gear.

SR2016 specifications

The Linksys SR2016 is a robust and efficient 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses and advanced home networking. This unmanaged switch provides a reliable solution for creating a cost-effective network infrastructure that can handle the increasing demands of data transmission.

One of the standout features of the Linksys SR2016 is its 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide high-speed connectivity for multiple devices simultaneously. Each port is designed to offer 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates, ensuring fast and efficient communication between connected devices. This level of performance is crucial for applications that rely on heavy data traffic, such as video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers.

The switch operates on a plug-and-play basis, meaning that no configuration is required, making it incredibly user-friendly. Simply connect the switch to a power source and link your devices using standard Ethernet cables, and the network is instantly up and running. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who may not have extensive technical knowledge.

The Linksys SR2016 features a durable metal casing, which not only protects the internal components but also aids in effective heat dissipation. Its compact design allows for seamless integration into existing network configurations, either on a desk or mounted in a rack. Additionally, the switch supports auto-MDI/MDIX, enabling automatic detection of the required cable type, thus simplifying connections and reducing the need for special cables.

Power efficiency is another critical aspect of the Linksys SR2016, as it complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards. This ensures that when ports are idle, they consume less power, resulting in lower energy costs over time.

In terms of reliability, the SR2016 is equipped with features that enhance network stability. It supports large MAC address tables, allowing it to manage a greater number of devices without impacting performance. Furthermore, its non-blocking architecture ensures that data flows seamlessly and without delay across all ports.

The Linksys SR2016 is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a reliable and high-performance networking solution that balances functionality, ease of use, and energy efficiency, making it a valuable asset for any network environment.
