Network switch DIGITUS 10 inch Gigabit Ethernet 16-Port Unmanaged (rackmount module)

The DIGITUS 10" Gigabit Ethernet 16-Port Unmanaged switch (DN-80115-1) is a compact rackmount module that expands wired LAN connectivity by providing sixteen 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 ports in a 10" (25 cm) form factor. As an unmanaged Layer 2 device, it operates plug-and-play without configuration and is designed for quiet, continuous operation thanks to its fanless metal housing. With a non-blocking architecture, store-and-forward switching and a switching capacity of 32 Gbps, the switch supports parallel data transmissions and stable packet forwarding in small office, workshop or home network environments where high port density and simple deployment are required.

Advantages

The DIGITUS 16-port Gigabit switch offers straightforward expansion of network ports with auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X for cable flexibility and automatic speed/duplex detection. Its fanless metal housing reduces mechanical wear and enables silent operation while the internal power supply and low maximum power consumption (15 W) simplify installation and energy planning. Built-in flow control and a non-blocking architecture maintain reliable throughput under load, and the compact 10" design allows mounting in small cabinets or use as a desktop unit.

Suitable for

• Small offices and coworking spaces needing additional wired ports
• Workshops and production areas requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity
• Home networks with multiple wired devices (NAS, desktop PCs, media players)
• 10" compact rack or wall distributor installations
• Environments where silent, fanless operation is preferred

How to use

Place the unit in a compatible 10" distribution frame or on a stable surface for desktop use and connect the supplied power cable to a suitable AC outlet (100–240 V AC). Connect network devices using standard Cat5e or better cabling to the RJ45 ports; the switch will automatically negotiate link speed and duplex and adjust for MDI/MDI-X cable types. No configuration is required: once power and cables are connected, devices can communicate across the LAN. Monitor link/activity LEDs on the front panel to verify connectivity and traffic activity.

Recommendations

Install the switch in a well-ventilated area, avoid placing heavy objects on top of the housing, and use Cat5e or Cat6 cables for reliable Gigabit performance. For deployment in cabinets, secure the 10" module according to the rack or distributor instructions and ensure ambient temperature remains within the specified operating range to maintain optimal performance.
