LINKSYS LGS116

LINKSYS is a typical example of a company that has grown from a garage startup to a major player in the global networking arena. Take, for example, the unmanaged switch LGS116 from the brand's portfolio, which will serve as a real godsend for deploying a local area network in a small office.

Clearly defined goals

There are no special technological "chips" in the model. It just clearly fulfills its goals in providing clients with access to the network at “flight” speeds up to gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps). The switch handles ultra-high-definition streaming video very well, provides nimble tossing and turning of "heavy" games and does not delay sending large amounts of data in general.

16 port layout

LINKSYS LGS116 is equipped with sixteen connection ports, seated in one orderly row. Such a layout of sockets had a positive effect on the thickness of the switch case (only 25 mm). Lights indicating the activity of connections are adjacent to the upper left side of each of the client ports. Power is not automatically supplied to the "empty" connectors, which reduces the "energy gluttony" of the device.

Mounting versatility

Non-slip feet at the bottom of the switch's "body" help it stay securely on a flat table surface. Also in the case of the model, holes were made for the wall-mounted method of placement. But the switch is not subject to regular rack mounting. However, craftsmen can easily bypass this incompatibility, as a result of which LINKSYS LGS116 captivates with the versatility of installation.
