Description
The TRENDnet TPE-S50 6-Port Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch offers a simple and reliable solution for expanding wired network connectivity while supplying power to compatible network devices over Ethernet cables. Designed for small businesses, offices, surveillance systems, and home networking installations, this unmanaged switch combines four PoE+ ports with two additional Ethernet ports in a compact metal housing.
The four 10/100Mbps PoE+ ports support IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at devices, delivering both network data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable. With a total PoE budget of 60W and support for up to 30W per PoE+ port, the switch can power compatible IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other powered devices.
The TPE-S50 offers 1.2Gbps switching capacity, a 1K-entry MAC address table, and a 15KB jumbo frame capability. Its unmanaged plug-and-play design makes installation straightforward without requiring network management configuration.
Featuring a fanless design and sturdy metal enclosure, the TPE-S50 operates quietly and supports wall mounting for flexible installation. Its internal universal power supply accepts 100–240V AC input, making it suitable for a range of standard business network environments.
Whether expanding a small office network, connecting surveillance cameras, or powering wireless access points, the TRENDnet TPE-S50 provides a compact PoE+ networking solution.
Important: The switch has Fast Ethernet ports operating at up to 100Mbps, not Gigabit Ethernet. The 60W figure is the total PoE power budget, not the per-port output.
