FAQs
What is auto MDI/MDIX and why does it matter?
Auto MDI/MDIX automatically detects and adjusts to the cable type (straight-through or crossover), eliminating the need for crossover cables. This simplifies installation—you can use standard Ethernet cables on any port without compatibility concerns.
How much power does the TL-SF1016 consume?
The TL-SF1016 has a maximum power consumption of 2.23W at 220V/50Hz and features energy-efficient technology that saves up to 75% power compared to traditional switches, reducing operational costs.
Is the TL-SF1016 suitable for rack mounting?
Yes. The switch features a standard 1U 19-inch rack-mountable steel case and includes a rackmount kit for secure installation in server racks and network cabinets.
What cable types are supported?
The TL-SF1016 supports 10BASE-T (UTP Cat. 3/4/5) and 100BASE-TX (UTP Cat. 5/5e or higher) cables. Both types can run up to 100 metres maximum distance.
Does the TL-SF1016 require a fan?
No. The TL-SF1016 is fanless, operating silently without active cooling. This reduces noise and power consumption while improving reliability.
