16PORT 10/100/1000 BASE-T UNMANAGED POE+

Looking for a high-performance and unmanaged Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch for surveillance? Look no further! The D-Link DGS-F1016P is a wireless, and network extension installations. It has 16 gigabit PoE ports. It also comes with 2 SFP uplinks to both connect and power devices. Whether you have IP cameras, access points or VoIP phones, you can connect without requiring any further adapters. It is rack-mountable, plug-and-play, and built to function dependably in demanding settings.

Core Features & Highlights

• Total Gigabit PoE support — Supplies power and data over Ethernet to compatible devices using IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
• 250 W PoE budget — Sufficient power provision to feed multiple devices simultaneously.
• Plug-and-play installation — No setup needed; auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX, and auto SFP detection for easy installation.
• Flow Control & Loss Protection — IEEE 802.3x flow control for congestion control and packet loss reduction.
• Long Range PoE (Extend Mode) — Longer reach (up to 250 m) on designated ports, handy for distant IP cameras or APs (through Cat5e/Cat6)
• Modes via DIP Switch — Switch between modes like Extend, VLAN isolation, QoS priority, or power auto-detect to match your deployment scenario.
• Quiet, efficient operation — Fanless design offers zero noise and less maintenance.
• Rack-mountable metal housing — Professional appearance and durable construction, with included mounting brackets.

Use Cases & Applications

• Surveillance networks — Power and connect multiple IP cameras without individual power supplies.
• Wireless deployments — Supply APs with data and power over Ethernet in buildings, campuses, or outdoor enclosures.
• Small to medium business networks — Simplify network edge deployments with devices that need both power and data.
• Retail / hospitality — Use to power VoIP phones, security devices, digital signage, and network cameras from one switch.
• Branch offices / remote locations — Removes cabling complexity by supplying data and power over the same cable.

Technical Insights & Tips

• As an unmanaged switch, there is no CLI or GUI to configure — it’s all hardware-based with a focus on ease of use and reliability.
• Extend mode enables specified ports to deliver stable PoE and data over 100 m, but for best results, use higher category twisted pair cables (Cat5e / Cat6).
• DIP switch modes enable on-the-fly adjustments with no re-wiring or complicated set-ups — ideal for changing installations.
• Failure points are reduced because of its fanless design. Plus, its ideal for quieter installations such as conference rooms or control centers.
• The metal enclosure passively dissipates heat. It even helps to prolong device life in hot server racks.
