Managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch TP-Link Omada ES216G — 16 x RJ-45 10/100/1000, 32 Gbit/s, 8000 MAC, black, rack-mount

TP-Link Omada ES216G is a managed L2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 16 RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports, a switching capacity of 32 Gbit/s and an 8000-entry MAC address table. Designed for small to medium wired networks, it supports centralized cloud management with Omada Cloud Essentials and offers rack-mount and desktop installation options. The switch has a durable metal housing, fanless silent operation and an included AC power supply.

Advantages

The ES216G delivers reliable wired performance with Gigabit ports and a 32 Gbit/s switching capacity while keeping operation silent due to its fanless design. Centralized management via Omada Cloud Essentials (web or Omada app) simplifies monitoring and configuration across access points, switches and gateways. Hardware features such as VLAN, port isolation, automatic loop prevention and IGMP snooping improve network stability for surveillance and business applications.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office networks
• Surveillance camera systems requiring stable wired connectivity
• Edge switching in retail or hospitality environments
• Rack-mounted network setups in server or equipment cabinets

How to use

Install the ES216G in a rack or place it on a desktop and connect the included AC power cable. Use standard Ethernet cables to connect network devices to the 16 Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Access the web management interface or the Omada app and adopt the switch into Omada Cloud Essentials for centralized monitoring and configuration. Configure VLANs, port isolation, QoS and other L2 settings according to your network design.

Recommendations

For surveillance and business networks, reserve separate VLANs for cameras and critical devices, enable IGMP snooping to optimise multicast traffic, and use QoS to prioritise video and voice streams. Place the switch in a ventilated but dust-free environment to ensure long-term reliability.
