TRENDnet TI-G262 26-Port Industrial Gigabit DIN-Rail Switch

Industrial Gigabit Connectivity

The TRENDnet TI-G262 26-Port Hardened Industrial Gigabit Switch provides reliable network connectivity for industrial installations and demanding operating environments. It features 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and two dedicated Gigabit SFP slots, allowing network installers to connect copper Ethernet devices and fiber-optic infrastructure through a single industrial switch.

High-Speed Network Performance

With a 52Gbps switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 38.69Mpps, the TI-G262 supports efficient data transmission across connected network devices. Its 512KB data RAM buffer, 8K MAC address table, and support for jumbo frames up to 9KB help manage network traffic in industrial applications.

Hardened Industrial Construction

Built with an IP30-rated metal enclosure and industrial-grade components, the TI-G262 is designed for challenging environments involving temperature extremes, vibration, and electrical disturbances. It supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, making it suitable for industrial facilities and other installations where standard commercial switches may not be appropriate.

Redundant Power and Alarm Relay

The switch features dual redundant 12–56V DC power inputs with overload current protection. This power configuration helps reduce network downtime by allowing connection to two independent power sources. An integrated alarm relay provides a power-failure notification through its relay contacts, helping administrators identify power-related issues.

Fiber-Optic Network Expansion

Two dedicated Gigabit SFP slots provide fiber connectivity options for compatible SFP transceivers. These interfaces allow the switch to connect with fiber-optic network infrastructure and support longer-distance connections than conventional copper Ethernet cabling.

Flexible Industrial Installation

The compact metal enclosure includes DIN-rail and wall-mounting hardware, allowing installation in industrial control cabinets, equipment enclosures, and other space-constrained environments.

Important: The TI-G262 is an unmanaged, non-PoE switch. Compatible DC power supplies are sold separately.
