Before PoE++ 802.3bt in 2018, there were a number of products that needed higher power output but were built to previous standards like UPOE.

What is a bit different is that there are two DIP switches. On the left side of the switch, there are obligatory LED markers. Netgear GS516UP Font W Rack Ears Installed This makes the unit versatile enough that it can be rack-mounted but can also be a desk/ shelf top unit. Dimensions are 330 x 207 x 43 mm or 12.99 in. The switch itself is 1U in height but is nowhere near as wide as a standard 1U rack. One item we wanted to point out was what we found in the unit we purchased off of Amazon since there was something strange with our unit. This is an unmanaged gigabit switch, with a twist: it is both a PoE+ and a PoE++ switch. Sometimes you just need to put power over an Ethernet cable and that is what the Netgear GS516UP is all about.
