Energy Efficiency for Cost Savings
Built with energy conservation in mind, the DES-1016D integrates IEEE802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology. This innovative feature automatically transitions the switch to a low-power idle state when utilization is zero, helping you save on energy costs. Whether for a small office or a home network, this power-saving capability ensures a greener operation without compromising on performance.
Green and Compliant Design
D-Link’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the DES-1016D. The switch complies with Energy Star Level V and the WEEE directive, utilizing recyclable packaging to reduce environmental impact. Its innovative design ensures cool operation without sacrificing performance, making it a responsible choice for those seeking an eco-conscious networking solution.
Durable, Quiet, and NDAA-Compliant
Designed for reliability and longevity, the DES-1016D features a robust metal housing. Its fanless construction provides silent operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive spaces such as offices and home settings. Additionally, the DES-1016D is NDAA-compliant, meeting stringent government standards for security and trust, making it suitable for government and enterprise-level networks.
