5. What is the advantage of having a switch when it comes to data transfer?

The switch acts as a repeater which regenerates data signals as they pass through it.
This feature acts as a safeguard to deter data loss and ensure that transmissions arrive
securely at their destinations. Moreover, a switch is capable of intelligent filtering of
data based on source and destination as compared to the repeater which can only
regenerate the signal without checking its recipients.

6. What is the maximum PoE power budget for each PoE switch?

The Linksys LGS116P has 80 Watts dedicated PoE power budget for the entire switch.

7. What are the protocols supported by the LGS116P?

The Linksys LGS116P switch is compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3ab,
and 802.3az standards.

8. Can I wall-mount my switch?

Yes, the Linksys LGS116P can be wall-mounted.
