Benefit: cost-effective network growth with zero-configuration deployment and consistent throughput for SMB productivity.
Retail POS and IP Surveillance Integration Using DES-1016A-D-Link
A mid-sized retail outlet uses the DES-1016A-D-Link switch to aggregate 8 PoS terminals, 4 digital signage displays and 4 IP cameras on its 100M electrical ports. With a 3.2 Gbps backplane and 2.4 Mpps packet rate, the switch prevents packet loss during peak hours. The robust iron case and versatile mount options safeguard hardware in the storefront. Benefit: uninterrupted checkout and HD video streams for improved customer experience and loss prevention.
Factory Floor Device Connectivity with DES-1016A-D-Link Unmanaged Switch
On an industrial shop floor, the DES-1016A-D-Link connects PLCs, HMIs and barcode scanners across 16 100M ports. Its high backplane bandwidth (3.2 Gbps) and 2.4 M pps forwarding rate guarantee real-time data exchange for automation. The switch’s iron enclosure and AC 100-240 V universal power supply support rugged, rack-mounted deployments in control cabinets. Benefit: reliable, low-latency communications for maximum production uptime.
