TRENDnet TPE-TG182F 18-Port Gigabit High-Power PoE+ Switch, 16-Port PoE+, 2 Shared RJ-45/SFP Ports, 440W PoE Budget, 36Gbps, Rackmount

Expand your business network with the TRENDnet TPE-TG182F 18-Port Gigabit High-Power PoE+ Switch. Designed for network installations that require both reliable data connectivity and centralized power delivery, this unmanaged switch combines 16 Gigabit PoE+ ports with two flexible shared Gigabit RJ-45/SFP ports.

High-Power PoE+ Connectivity

The TPE-TG182F provides a total PoE power budget of 440W across its 16 PoE+ ports. Each PoE+ port supports up to 30W, allowing compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones to receive power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable.

Flexible Network Expansion

Two additional shared Gigabit ports support either RJ-45 Ethernet connections or SFP modules. This provides flexibility when connecting the switch to other network equipment or fiber-based infrastructure. Each shared port uses either its RJ-45 or SFP interface, not both simultaneously.

High-Speed Gigabit Switching

With 36Gbps switching capacity, the TPE-TG182F supports high-speed data transfer across connected network devices. It also supports jumbo frames up to 9KB, helping accommodate larger data packets in compatible network environments.

Simple Installation and Rackmount Design

As an unmanaged switch, the TPE-TG182F provides straightforward plug-and-play connectivity without requiring software configuration. Its sturdy 1U, 19-inch rackmount metal housing and included mounting brackets make it suitable for network racks, server rooms and commercial installations.

Built-In Power Supply

The integrated AC power supply supports 110–240V AC input, eliminating the need for a separate external power adapter. The switch also includes cooling fans to support operation under its specified conditions.
