Description
Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
The TRENDnet TPE-TG50g 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch provides a simple and reliable way to expand network connectivity while supplying power to compatible Ethernet devices. It features four Gigabit PoE+ ports and one additional Gigabit Ethernet port, making it suitable for small offices, home networks, surveillance installations, and other compact networking environments.
31W PoE+ Power Budget
With a total PoE power budget of 31W, the TPE-TG50g delivers both data and electrical power over existing Ethernet cables. Its four PoE+ ports support IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at powered devices, including compatible IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP equipment.
This reduces the need for separate power adapters at each connected device and simplifies network installation.
High-Speed Network Performance
The switch provides a 10Gbps switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 7.44Mpps. Its Gigabit Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10/100/1000Mbps, providing fast connectivity for computers, routers, cameras, and other compatible network equipment.
Simple Plug-and-Play Installation
The unmanaged design allows users to connect compatible network devices without configuring VLANs, routing, or other advanced network settings. This makes the switch suitable for users who need straightforward Gigabit Ethernet and PoE+ connectivity.
Compact Metal Construction
The compact metal enclosure provides a durable housing for everyday networking applications. Its small footprint makes it suitable for desktop installations and space-constrained network setups.
Flexible Network Applications
The TPE-TG50g can connect and power compatible PoE devices while providing an additional non-PoE Gigabit port for connecting a router, computer, or another Ethernet device.
Important: The total PoE power budget is 31W. The switch does not provide 30W simultaneously to all four PoE ports.
