Marketing description

The DES-1016D comes with 16 10/100Mbps ports, allowing a small workgroup to flexibly integrate to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet. These intelligent ports detect the network speed andauto-negotiate between 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, as well as between full and half-duplex. All ports support flow control. This function minimizesdropped packets by sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is full.
All ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross over.This eliminates the need for cross over cables or uplink ports. Anyport can simply plug to a server, a hub or a switch, using theusual straight-through twisted-pair cable.
With 16 plug-and-play ports, the switch is a perfectchoice for workgroups to upgrade performance in a client/server environment. The ports can be connected to servers in full duplex, or hubs in half-duplex.
With low-cost connection per-port, the switch can be setup for direct connection from the PCs. This relieves data bottleneck by giving each workstation a dedicated bandwidth on the network.

Product features

• Ease of use
  The DES-1016D has 16 plug-and-play ports; the switch is a perfect choice for workgroups to upgrade performance in a client/server environment. The ports can be connected to servers in full-duplex, or hubs in half-duplex.
• Auto speed sensing
  The switch senses whether a network device is running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps and automatically adjusts for optimal performance.
• Auto negotiation
  Whether you are running at half- or in full-duplex, the switch automatically negotiates and runs the highest supported transmission rate.
• Auto MDI/MDIX crossover
  All ports support auto-negotiating MDI/MDIX detection, which eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. The DES-1016D is the perfect choice for Plug-and-Play support for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T networks.
• Wire-speed performance
  The DES-1016D features a non-blocking wire-speed architecture, with a 3.2Gbps switching capacity, for maximum data throughput. The DES-1016D also features an integrated universal power supply, and per port diagnostics LEDs that make it easy to "spot check" for problems. With wire-speed filtering and store-and-forward switching, the DES-1016D maximizes network performance while minimizing the propagation of bad network packets.
