At first you can simply plug the switch into power and the network. If you later need to separate cameras or guest devices, create a VLAN; if video calls stutter, use QoS to put voice traffic first. Loop prevention and cable diagnostics help track down the fault when someone plugs a cable into the wrong place.
Home and small office users who want simple plug-in setup with the option to segment the network later. It also suits enthusiasts building a home lab and small businesses where 16 ports are enough and no rack is needed.

Ports and housing dimensions are the same. The TL-SG116 is fully unmanaged, while the TL-SG116E adds a web interface, VLANs, port mirroring, loop prevention and cable diagnostics.
No. Unmanaged Pro means the switch works out of the box, and you only need the web interface when you want to change VLANs or QoS.
No, the manufacturer does not list rack mounting. It is a compact metal desktop housing.
