configuration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a fully unmanaged, plug-and-play switch. Connect your Ethernet cables and it operates immediately — no software, login, or setup required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the TL-SF1016DS be rack-mounted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 13-inch steel case is designed for both desktop placement and rackmount installation. It fits a standard 19-inch rack with appropriate rack ears (confirm inclusion in the box or purchase separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the TL-SF1016DS and the TL-SG1016D?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL-SF1016DS is a Fast Ethernet switch with 10\/100Mbps ports, suitable for networks that don’t require Gigabit speeds. The TL-SG1016D is a Gigabit switch with 10\/100\/1000Mbps ports, offering up to 10× faster throughput. If your devices support Gigabit, the TL-SG1016D is the better long-term investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much power does the TL-SF1016DS save compared to a standard switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTP-Link Green Technology automatically reduces power consumption based on link status and cable length, saving up to 75% compared to non-energy-efficient switches. Ports with no connected device or shorter cable runs consume significantly less power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes CCTV Guru ship Australia-wide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
