What is the switching capacity of the GS716T?

The switch provides 32 Gbps non-blocking bandwidth with store-and-forward forwarding, a 512 KB buffer, and 8,000 MAC address table. This supports high-throughput applications like VoIP, streaming, and large file transfers in full-duplex mode.

How is the GS716T managed?

Management is via intuitive web-based GUI and embedded server, offering VLAN for traffic control, port trunking, CoS prioritization, ACLs, IGMP snooping, and 802.1x. Additional features include rate limiting, port mirroring, and firmware upgrades.

What is the power consumption and MTBF?

Maximum power consumption is 32W from 100-240VAC/50-60 Hz input. MTBF is rated at 65,789 hours (~7.5 years), with fanless design for quiet, reliable operation in rack or desktop setups.

Is the GS716T rack-mountable?

Yes, it supports free-standing or 19-inch rack mounting with included rubber footpads and rack-mount kit. Dimensions suit wiring closets, with form factor optimized for SMB equipment rooms.

What standards does it support?

Compatible with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit; includes 802.3x flow control, 802.1p QoS, and 802.3ad LACP for trunking, ensuring broad network interoperability.
