TRENDnet TEG-524WS 52-Port Gigabit Web Smart Managed Switch

Expand your business network with the TRENDnet TEG-524WS 52-Port Gigabit Web Smart Managed Switch. Designed for small and medium-sized businesses, corporate networks, and IT infrastructure, this switch combines high-density Gigabit connectivity with practical network management capabilities.

High-Density Gigabit Connectivity

The TEG-524WS provides 48 dedicated Gigabit RJ-45 ports and four shared Gigabit RJ-45/SFP combo ports. The shared combo ports offer flexible connectivity, allowing each port to operate through either its RJ-45 copper interface or SFP fiber interface. This configuration supports a variety of network deployment requirements, including copper connections and fiber uplinks.

High-Speed Network Performance

With a 104Gbps switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 77.4Mpps, the TEG-524WS is designed to handle demanding network traffic. Its 1.5MB RAM buffer, 16K MAC address table, and support for jumbo frames up to 10KB help support efficient data transmission across connected network devices.

Flexible Web-Based Network Management

The Web Smart management interface provides convenient configuration and monitoring capabilities. Administrators can manage VLANs, link aggregation, traffic priorities, port bandwidth, multicast traffic, and network access controls without requiring a fully managed enterprise switch.

Advanced Traffic Control and Security

The switch supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, private VLAN, voice VLAN, IEEE 802.1p QoS, DSCP, and per-port bandwidth control. Additional security features include 802.1X authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+, DHCP snooping, access control lists, trusted host configuration, and denial-of-service protection.

IPv4 and IPv6 Network Support

The TEG-524WS supports IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, inter-VLAN routing, and up to six IP interfaces. These capabilities provide additional flexibility when managing network segmentation and communication between VLANs.

Quiet, Rackmountable Design

Built with a metal enclosure and fanless design, the switch operates without cooling-fan noise. Its integrated power supply and 1U rackmount form factor make it suitable for server rooms, network cabinets, and office infrastructure installations.

Important: The TEG-524WS is a non-PoE switch. It does not supply Power over Ethernet to connected devices.

4. Compatibility

The TEG-524WS is compatible with:

• Computers and servers equipped with 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet interfaces.
• Gigabit Ethernet routers and firewalls.
• Network printers and storage devices.
• Compatible Gigabit SFP transceivers.
• Fiber-optic network infrastructure using compatible SFP modules.
• Managed and unmanaged Ethernet switches.
• Compatible IP cameras and wireless access points with Ethernet connectivity.

SFP Compatibility Notes:

• The four combo ports are shared interfaces, not four additional independent RJ-45 ports plus four SFP ports.
• Each combo port supports either its RJ-45 copper connection or its SFP connection.
• SFP modules must be compatible with the switch and the intended fiber type, wavelength, and transmission distance.
• Confirm module compatibility before ordering third-party SFP transceivers.

PoE Compatibility:
The TEG-524WS does not provide PoE power. Devices requiring PoE need a separate PoE switch or PoE injector.
