Frequently Asked Questions
What are SFP slots, and why would I need them on a switch?
SFP slots accept fibre optic modules, enabling long-distance high-speed connections between buildings or data centres without the distance limits of copper cables.
Can I use both Gigabit Ethernet ports and SFP fibre simultaneously on the TL-SG2216?
Yes, the 16 Gigabit ports handle standard connectivity, while the 2 SFP combo slots provide flexible uplinks for fibre or additional copper connections.
What network scenarios benefit from a 16-port smart switch?
The TL-SG2216 suits larger departmental networks, multi-building campuses, or data centres needing both density and flexible uplink options.
Can the TL-SG2216 be used as a core or access-layer switch?
Yes, with 16 ports and smart management, it works well as an access-layer switch for departmental floors or as a core switch for smaller networks.
What is the aggregate throughput when all 16 Gigabit ports are active?
The non-blocking architecture delivers 32 Gbps aggregate throughput, ensuring all 16 ports can operate simultaneously at full 1 Gbps.
Does the fanless design handle high-density deployments?
Yes, passive cooling is efficient even with sustained traffic across all 16 ports, making it suitable for data centres and busy departmental networks.
