TRENDnet TPE-S44 8-Port 10/100Mbps PoE Switch with 4 PoE Ports and 30W Power Budget

The TRENDnet TPE-S44 8-Port 10/100Mbps PoE Switch provides a convenient solution for connecting Ethernet devices and supplying power over network cables. Featuring four Fast Ethernet PoE ports and four additional standard Fast Ethernet ports, this unmanaged switch is designed for small business networks, surveillance systems, and other network installations requiring reliable 10/100Mbps connectivity.

The four PoE ports support the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, delivering both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable. With a total PoE power budget of 30W and up to 15.4W per PoE port, the TPE-S44 can power compatible IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices without requiring separate power adapters at each connected device.

A 1.6Gbps switching capacity supports network traffic across all eight ports. The switch also supports IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service, helping prioritize supported network traffic. Its unmanaged design makes installation simple, while TRENDnet's GREENnet technology helps reduce power consumption.

Built with a sturdy metal enclosure, the TPE-S44 is suitable for small office networks, surveillance installations, and edge network deployments. LED indicators provide visibility into power, link, activity, and PoE status.

Whether expanding an existing network or connecting multiple PoE-powered devices, the TRENDnet TPE-S44 offers a practical Fast Ethernet switching solution.
