The Tenda TEG1016M 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Metal-Body Switch is a high-performance, no-nonsense networking device designed to deliver consistent, blazing speed across your wired network. Ideal for small offices, surveillance systems, gaming setups, or home networks with many wired devices, this unmanaged Gigabit switch packs 16 RJ-45 ports with auto-negotiation 10/100/1000 Mbps capability. All ports support full-duplex, wire-speed forwarding so traffic flows smoothly even under heavy load.
Thanks to its fanless design and rigid steel housing, the TEG1016M runs quietly and manages heat effectively. It offers built-in protections like 6kV lightning protection on all ports and electrostatic protection, ensuring robustness in harsh or outdoor-adjacent environments. The switch also features a “one-key VLAN” mode: ports 1-14 are isolated from each other but can still communicate with uplink ports (typically 15-16) — useful for security, broadcast isolation, or surveillance network setups. Plug-and-play simplicity means no setup menus or networking expertise required — just mount it, connect devices, and go.
Compact in form yet rugged in build, it supports desktop or wall mounting. With low power draw and reliable performance, the Tenda TEG1016M offers excellent value for users needing many wired Gigabit ports with durability and essential features in one metal enclosure.
✅ Key Features
16 Gigabit Ports (10/100/1000Base-T): Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on every port ensures compatibility and ease of connection.
Full-Duplex Wire-Speed Forwarding: All ports support full duplex, enabling total throughput up to ~2000 Mbps to handle high volume transfers or multiple streaming/data tasks.
One-Key VLAN Mode: Ports 1-14 cannot communicate with each other but can communicate with ports 15-16 — helps reduce broadcast traffic or isolate devices.
6 kV Lightning & ESD Protection: Enhanced port protection against lightning surges and static discharge.
Mini Steel Shell, Fanless Design: Durable metal body improves heat dissipation; silent operation since no fans.
Jumbo Frame Support: Up to ~10K byte frames for better efficiency in large data transfers.
✅ Why Buy This Product
High Port Count with Gigabit Speeds: If you need many wired connections — for PCs, cameras, NAS, printers — this provides 16 ports without sacrificing speed.
Durability & Environmental Protection: Metal body, lightning protection, and high temp tolerance make it a good choice for mixed or challenging environments, such as near windows, outdoors wiring, or semi-outdoor walls.
Noise-Free, Maintenance-Light Operation: Fanless design and simple plug-and-play means less failure points, quieter operation, less upkeep.
Security / Traffic Isolation Options: The one-key VLAN makes it easier to isolate devices (e.g. IP cameras) from mainstream user traffic, improving security and reducing unnecessary broadcast traffic.
Cost-Effective for SMB / Home Use: Provides many features you’d see only in more expensive managed switches, but at a lower complexity and with simpler usability.
