An unmanaged switch has no web interface and no settings to go through before use: the router goes into one port, the other devices into the rest, and the network is up. All 16 ports support 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps, so older devices connect just as easily as gigabit computers, printers and network storage. Because it can be used on a desk or mounted in a rack, the switch fits both a workspace and a server cabinet.
Small offices that have run out of router ports and need to cable up computers, printers and a NAS; homes where a TV, a games console and a computer need a stable wired connection; and server cabinet owners who want a simple 16-port switch without VLANs or other settings.

No, it is an unmanaged switch. VLANs, QoS and other settings cannot be configured on it; it simply forwards data between all 16 ports. If the network has to be split into segments, you need a managed switch.
No, this switch has no PoE. IP cameras, access points and IP phones will need their own power adapter or a PoE injector.
Yes, the manufacturer lists it as suitable for both desktop and rack mounting. Whether rack ears are included, the manufacturer does not specify.
