Your Upgrade for an Intelligent Network
Do you want more than just connecting devices? The TP-Link TL-SG116E is an Easy Smart Switch that gives you the tools to actively shape your Network. With support for up to 32 VLANs, you can securely divide your Network into logical areas – for example, separate your home office from the rest of your home network or set up a separate guest network. Thanks to Quality of Service (QoS), you prioritize important data traffic. This ensures that video conferences and online gaming always run smoothly, even if large downloads are taking place in the background.
Convincing Performance: 32 Gbps Switching Capacity
Forget bottlenecks in your local network. With a non-blocking switching architecture and a total capacity of 32 Gbps, the TL-SG116E forwards data packets on all 16 ports simultaneously at full Gigabit speed. The packet forwarding rate of 23.81 Mpps and a 4.1 Mb packet buffer ensure that everything runs smoothly even under high load. Whether for data-intensive applications, connecting servers, or as a central distributor in your rack – this switch delivers the necessary power.
Built for Continuous Use: Robust, Quiet, and Flexible
A good Ethernet Switch should perform its duty unobtrusively and reliably. That's exactly what the TL-SG116E does. Its robust metal casing protects the high-quality electronics and ensures optimal heat dissipation. The best part: It is completely fanless and therefore absolutely silent. Place it directly on your desk, in the living room, or mount it on the wall, without ever being disturbed by fan noise. A true professional for any environment.
Easy Configuration and Green Efficiency
Setting up as a 16 Port Switch with VLAN Function is incredibly simple. For basic functions, just plug it in and get started. You can conveniently configure the smart features via the web-based interface or the Easy Smart Configuration Utility for Windows. In addition, TP-Link's innovative Green Technology helps you save energy. The switch detects inactive ports and the length of connected cables and dynamically adjusts its power consumption. This not only protects the environment but also your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the TP-Link TL-SG116E a managed switch?
The TL-SG116E is an 'Easy Smart' Switch. It is partially manageable via a web interface and offers functions like VLAN and QoS, but does not have the full range of functions of a 'Fully Managed' Switch.
Can I segment my network with the TL-SG116E?
Yes, the switch supports up to 32 VLANs. This allows you to securely divide your network into logical groups, for example, to separate guest traffic from internal data.
Does the TL-SG116E require special configuration for commissioning?
No, for basic functionality as a Gigabit switch, it is 'Plug and Play'. Configuration is only necessary for using smart features like VLAN or QoS.
Is the switch suitable for voice or video applications?
Yes, thanks to the QoS (Quality of Service) function, you can prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP telephony or video streaming to ensure stable and smooth transmission.
How do I access the web interface of the TL-SG116E?
You need to assign your computer an IP address in the same subnet as the switch and then enter the switch's IP address (default: 192.168.0.1) into a web browser.
Does the TP-Link TL-SG116E make noise?
No, the switch has a fanless design. It operates completely silently and is therefore ideal for use in office environments or living spaces.
