Sixteen PoE+ connections with quick physical DIP control
16 × Gigabit PoE+135 W shared budget3 physical DIP switchesBlack fanless slim design
The Zyxel GS1100-16EPS combines sixteen Gigabit PoE+ ports with three physical controls in a slim black chassis. Each port supports IEEE 802.3at within a shared 135 W budget. This Switchable-series model uses DIP switches for loop prevention, energy saving and port LEDs without requiring a browser or management login.
Best For: Small premises needing wired Gigabit access and a carefully budgeted mix of compatible APs, cameras and VoIP phones.
Before you order: Each port can supply up to 30 W, but all powered devices share 135 W. Add their actual requirements before connecting them; sixteen ports do not mean sixteen simultaneous 30 W loads. Use the supplied external adapter and maintain airflow. This slim model supports wall mounting, not the rack kit supplied with some other GS1100 variants.
What's in the Box
- Zyxel GS1100-16EPS-EU0101F switch.
- External power adapter and wall-mount kit.
- Current manufacturer datasheet lists a power cord; confirm the supplied regional cord configuration. Ethernet cables and powered devices are separate.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect wired Gigabit devices with plug-and-play forwarding.
- Power compatible IEEE 802.3af/at endpoints within the shared 135 W limit.
- Toggle DIP 1 for loop prevention, DIP 2 for IEEE 802.3az EEE and DIP 3 for port LED control.
- Place on a suitable surface or wall-mount with clearance for passive cooling.
What Will Not Work
- No SFP slots, 2.5G or 10G network ports.
- The 135 W shared budget cannot supply 30 W to all sixteen ports at once.
- This Switchable model does not provide the EP model’s web-managed VLAN controls or full enterprise management.
- Indoor 0–40°C operation; no weatherproof enclosure or model-specific rack kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all sixteen ports PoE+?
Yes. Ports 1–16 support IEEE 802.3at, sharing a total 135 W budget.
Can all ports deliver 30 W together?
No. Thirty watts is the per-port ceiling; the entire switch has 135 W available for PoE.
Does it have a web-managed VLAN interface?
No. This EPS Switchable model uses physical DIP controls for loop prevention, EEE and LEDs; do not confuse it with the EP Unmanaged Plus model.
Can I rack-mount it with the included kit?
The EPS includes a wall-mount kit and supports desktop placement. No model-specific rack mounting is listed.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose the EPS when quick physical control suits the installation. Its DIP switches offer useful loop and energy settings without web configuration. Allocate actual endpoint power within 135 W and retain airflow around both chassis and adapter; a switch on each feature does not add enterprise VLAN management.
Buyer’s Guide
✓ Buy it if You need quiet Gigabit PoE+ with simple physical controls and modest total power demand.
✕ Skip it if You need configurable VLAN through a web interface, more than 135 W shared PoE, fibre uplinks or multi-Gigabit access.
→ Also consider Actual endpoint power, DIP positions, cable losses, adapter placement and wall or desktop ventilation.
