Our take on the TP-LINK TL-SG1016 16-port Unmanaged Gigabit Rackmount Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG1016 is an unmanaged 16-port Gigabit switch in a 1U metal chassis. It needs no setup: plug in the devices and it forwards traffic at up to 1000 Mbps per port. It suits small offices, home labs and anyone wiring a rack of PCs, NAS boxes or access points on a budget. Against managed switches it gives up VLANs, link aggregation and monitoring, and against 8-port models it costs more but saves stacking two units. Owners rate it around 3.9 out of 5, praising the metal build and simple setup while some report units failing after a year or two.
