TRENDnet TPE-TG51g 5-Port Gigabit Long-Range PoE+ Switch with 60W Power Budget

The TRENDnet TPE-TG51g 5-Port Gigabit Long-Range PoE+ Switch provides reliable network connectivity and power delivery for compatible PoE-enabled devices. Featuring four Gigabit PoE+ ports and one additional Gigabit port, this compact unmanaged switch is designed for small business networks, surveillance installations, wireless access points, and other Ethernet-based applications.

With a 60W total PoE power budget and support for IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, the TPE-TG51g delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Each PoE+ port supports up to 30W, helping simplify installations by reducing the need for separate power adapters at connected devices.

A key feature is its long-range PoE capability. By enabling the appropriate DIP switch settings, users can extend PoE+ transmission distances up to 200m (656 ft.) at 10Mbps. This makes the switch useful for installations where cameras or other PoE devices are positioned beyond standard Ethernet transmission distances. Standard Gigabit PoE+ operation is available when long-range mode is disabled.

The TPE-TG51g also includes DIP-switch-controlled VLAN port isolation and Quality of Service (QoS). VLAN isolation helps separate traffic between connected PoE ports, while QoS prioritizes voice and video traffic for supported applications.

Housed in a compact metal enclosure, the switch supports wall-mounted installation and features LED indicators for monitoring network and PoE activity. Its unmanaged design provides straightforward deployment without requiring complex network configuration.
