From the all-metal construction to the direct AC in (no wall wart, woohoo!), and I shouldn't forget to mention the bundled 'L" brackets to attach it to a standard 19" rack, this is a professional unit at hobbyist prices. Performancewise, it's hard to say anything other than it works, and it works well. It replaces my aging 100BT Netgear which started shutting down on hot days. I'm not ready for PoE, but it's nice to know it's there should I need it. Bottom line: a quality, professional gigabit switch with all the features you could want, at a price you can't resist. I'm thrilled! Review: It works - Bought this new 10 years ago. It's 2025 and it still is working. ## Features - Non-Blocking Gigabit Performance – Enjoy full wire-speed transmission on all ports for smooth, uninterrupted data transfer—ideal for high-performance business or home networks - Auto MDI/MDI-X Support – Simplifies installation with automatic cable detection, allowing any Ethernet cable type to be used without manual configuration - Energy-Efficient Green Ethernet – Smart power-saving technology adjusts energy use based on cable length and activity, helping reduce electricity costs - Fanless & Silent Design – Operates quietly without fans, making it perfect for small offices, home offices, or noise-sensitive environments - Compact & Easy to Deploy – Small, lightweight design fits on desktops or can be mounted on walls, providing flexible placement in any office or workspace ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004EIFCHK | | Best Sellers Rank | #538 in Computer Networking Switches | | Case Material | Metal | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (194) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Date First Available | May 1, 2011 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00760559118990 | | Interface Type | RJ45 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Item model number | GS1100-16 | | Manufacturer | ZyXEL | | National Stock Number | 0 | | Product Dimensions | 5.24 x 8.46 x 1.65 inches | | UPC | 014445036531 807320395089 182682410350 115971081412 132017627090 760559118990 021111545655 102930812613 012300314626 803983028647 | | Voltage | 240 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZYXEL - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Included Components:** Network Switch, Power Cord, Rack-Mount Kit, Wall-Mount Kit - **Number of Ports:** 16 ## Images ![16 Port Network Switch | Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Splitter | 16x GbE Ports | Fanless Design | Plug and Play Easy Installation | Wall and Rack Mounting Kits Included | GS1100-16v3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XnE9vWm4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A professional switch at a bargain price *by E***A on July 5, 2014* I can't believe I could get excited about something as pedestrian as a network switch, but this little ZyXEL is phenomenal! From the all-metal construction to the direct AC in (no wall wart, woohoo!), and I shouldn't forget to mention the bundled 'L" brackets to attach it to a standard 19" rack, this is a professional unit at hobbyist prices. Performancewise, it's hard to say anything other than it works, and it works well. It replaces my aging 100BT Netgear which started shutting down on hot days. I'm not ready for PoE, but it's nice to know it's there should I need it. Bottom line: a quality, professional gigabit switch with all the features you could want, at a price you can't resist. I'm thrilled! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works *by R***B on October 20, 2025* Bought this new 10 years ago. It's 2025 and it still is working. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good product that simply works - update but dies after 4+ years... *by R***X on November 19, 2013* Update: Downgrading to 3 stars... So I purchased this in April 2013 from Amazon. It has worked flawlessly for about the last 4.5 years and this past weekend it just stopped working. Power light still on but none of the network lights on and I wasn’t getting anything on my network from any device that was hooked up to it. I tried several things to troubleshoot but nothing... Quite disappointing. I ended up getting a NETGEAR GS324 to replace it in my rack. Hoping that will last longer than this did. Original Review: I hooked this up in my rack for my theater room and it hasn't failed yet over the 4 months I have had it in. It is reasonably priced and simply gets the job done. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/5306598-16-port-network-switch-unmanaged-gigabit-ethernet-splitter-16x-gbe](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/5306598-16-port-network-switch-unmanaged-gigabit-ethernet-splitter-16x-gbe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
