NETGEAR 300 Series Gigabit Ethernet
Unmanaged Switches with PoE provide
easy, reliable, and affordable network
connectivity for home and small offices.
With these unmanaged plug-and-play
switches, you can expand your network
connections to multiple devices instantly.
The GS308PP, GS316P, and GS316PP
supports NETGEAR’s exclusive FlexPoE
upgradeable PoE power feature. Powered
by the industry’s first flexible PoE+
integrated technology, you can increase
or decrease the PoE budget by simply
purchasing a new NETGEAR. FlexPoE
power supply, effectively futureproofing
small business networks and budgets.
With NETGEAR’s exclusive FlexPoE,
these two switches help businesses cost
effectively increase their power budget to
expand their network as needed.

In US & Europe Market Share
according to NPD and Context, January 2019
The unmanaged switches provides power
and data from a single Ethernet (CAT-5e)
cable to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP/
Internet-based phones, wireless access
points, etc. The majority of these models
also support PoE power auto-balance and
allocation feature.

NETGEAR’s unique PoE technology
automatically balances the PoE power
based on the device needs independent
of PoE class detected. These switches
deliver the power the device needs, at the
most granular level.
Outstanding power flexibility with NETGEAR’s exclusive FlexPoE
All ports support PoE/PoE+ up to 30W per port, which makes them the perfect
switches for deploying Wireless APs, Pan/
Tilt/Zoom and fixed IP Cameras, VoIP
Phones, access-limited security door locks
or any other IoT PoE-powered devices.
The GS308PP, GS316P, and GS316PP
have copper Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports
featuring NETGEAR FlexPoE power.
The GS308PP ships with 83W

of PoE power budget.
Should you need more power in the future,
rather than replacing the entire switch, with
NETGEAR FlexPoE, you can just purchase
the optional NETGEAR FlexPoE EPS130W
Power Adapter, which will boost the PoE
budget of your GS308PP and with the
EPS200W Power Adapter, which will boost
the PoE budget of your GS316P.

Highlights
Expanding Wired Connectivity for SOHO Networks
• Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need
for crossover cables
• LED indicators for ease of use
• Energy-efficient technology for power
savings
• Fanless design for silent operation
• Auto-negotiation for automatic
connection at the highest common
speed between switch and an end
device
Increase or decrease your PoE budget anytime by simply upgrading your switch Power Supply, without having to purchase a new
switch. Future-proof your PoE budget with GS308PP or GS316P. And if you have power-hungry devices and directly need a high power
PoE switch, buy G316PP. This unique combination from NETGEAR Business makes these switches the most adaptive in the market.
