Trendnet TEG-S16DG network switch Unmanaged Black

TRENDNET TEG-S16Dg is an unmanaged 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to expand wired LAN connectivity for small offices, home networks, and workgroup environments. This plug-and-play device supports high-speed data transfer between computers, printers, network-attached storage (NAS) and other Ethernet devices without requiring configuration. The compact desktop design also supports optional rack placement, providing flexible deployment where additional Gigabit ports are needed.

Advantages

The switch provides 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports that deliver up to 1 Gbps per port for faster file transfers and smoother network performance. As an unmanaged Layer 2 device, it requires no setup or management software, enabling quick installation and immediate network expansion. Its energy-efficient design reduces power consumption while maintaining stable connectivity. The metal enclosure and compact form factor allow reliable operation and convenient placement in an office or home environment.

Suitable for

• Expanding wired LAN in small offices and home networks
• Connecting workstations, printers and NAS devices
• Creating dedicated wired segments for VoIP phones or IP cameras
• Temporary or permanent network expansion in shared workspaces

Key specifications

• Ports: 16 x Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) RJ-45 ports
• Switching capacity: Wire-speed Layer 2 switching for standard LAN traffic
• Form factor: Desktop with optional rack-mount capability
• Operation: Unmanaged, plug-and-play—no software configuration required
• Power: Internal or external adapter power (energy-efficient operation)
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and 10 Mbps devices

How to use

Place the TRENDNET TEG-S16Dg on a stable surface or mount it in a rack if required. Connect the switch's power adapter to an AC outlet and verify that the device powers on. Use standard Ethernet cables to connect computers, printers, NAS and other network devices to any of the 16 Gigabit RJ-45 ports. The switch will automatically detect link speed and duplex settings for connected devices and begin forwarding traffic at wire speed without further configuration.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use Category 5e or higher Ethernet cables to achieve full Gigabit performance. Place the switch in a well-ventilated area to ensure proper cooling and avoid stacking multiple devices directly on top of each other. Use this unmanaged switch to expand physical ports for devices requiring stable wired connections, and pair it with a properly configured router or gateway for Internet access and network segmentation.
