Silent and simple gigabit workgroup switch
Cisco's marketing department royally screwed up naming this product. They chose a model number (SR2016T) that is one character away from another product (SR2016), which was so horribly panned by customers that it was pulled from the market. They should have just used the part number (SG 100-16) and left it at that. To be clear, this switch bears NO relation whatsoever to the Linksys SR2016 switch. The 24 port models are different as well.My specific need was for a 16+ port gigabit switch that is quiet (silent if possible) and that will last a long time, running 24x7, completely neglected in a dusty closet. This unit is fanless, delivering on the quiet part, and also making it less likely to suffer from dust build up that can lead to overheating. I can't say yet how well it will hold up over the long term, but I'm not too worried since it comes with a lifetime warranty too.So far I have had zero issues. Every device that was working on the original switch...

Cisco Switch
This Cisco Switch replaced a Linksys Ethernet II 24 port switch that was 7 years old and just starting to go bad. It came packed good, very simple interface, we had it up and running in around 3 minutes. From the very start all the computer systems were recognized, and we were back to work in a small office environment. I highly recommend this unit, it's an excellent choice to upgrade from the normal home switch to something that is manufactured for small business with a reasonable price tag. I will be looking into their wireless routers to see where we can go from there.

Nice when you need more unmanaged ports
This 16 port gigabit switch is nice for small installations or home use where you want some speed but don't require port management. It comes extenders to support rack mounting or could be wall mounted also.My main suggestion for a change in this product would be to put the "gigabit" LED for each port somewhere better. As it is now, the green connectivity/activity light is on the top left of each port and the green gigabit indicator is on the top right. When you're trying to look quickly at status, that puts the gigabit light right next to the connectivity light for the next port over.The core features are good for an unmanaged switch. All ports detect crossover cables, support QoS tags, and the switch supports jumbo frames. It has no fan so it is quiet and needs appropriate climate control and ventilation. It also supposedly support "green" energy efficient technology but there were no details to explain that - just a marketing-speak type of statement. this...
