The TRENDnet TEG-284WS 28-Port Gigabit Web Smart Managed Switch delivers an advanced L2+ networking backbone engineered to meet the evolving traffic demands of growing small-to-medium businesses (SMB). Outfitted with 24 dedicated Gigabit RJ-45 ports and 4 shared Gigabit ports supporting either RJ-45 or SFP fiber modules, this switch offers exceptional integration flexibility. It gives network administrators deep, granular control over their corporate infrastructure without the complexity of traditional enterprise systems.
Designed to optimize and secure your operations, the TEG-284WS features an intuitive web-based GUI management interface as well as compatibility with the TRENDnet Hive remote cloud platform for offsite monitoring and configuration. Packed with robust traffic management tools—such as L2+ IPv4/IPv6 static routing, 802.1Q VLAN segmentation, Voice VLAN prioritization, and Link Aggregation (LACP)—this fanless 1U rackmountable switch balances silent operation with heavy-duty commercial performance.
Key Features
- 56Gbps Switching Capacity: High-bandwidth non-blocking fabric effortlessly processes large data sets across all 28 ports simultaneously without experiencing latency or packet delays.
- Shared SFP Fiber Slots: Includes 4 shared Gigabit SFP expansion ports to deploy long-distance fiber optic connections back to your core server infrastructure or remote nodes.
- Advanced L2+ Management & Routing: Offload resource demands from your main router by utilizing onboard L2+ static routing protocols to manage Inter-VLAN traffic at the switch level.
- TRENDnet Hive Cloud Integration: Compatible with centralized remote cloud management ecosystems to monitor system health, check memory utilization, and tweak settings from any browser.
- Optimized Voice Performance: Built-in Voice VLAN technology isolates and automatically prioritizes critical VoIP traffic from traditional web data to guarantee crystal-clear calls.
- Layered Access Security Control: Shields your architecture against malicious intrusions via Dynamic ARP Inspection, Access Control Lists (ACL), 802.1X authentication, and DHCP Snooping.
- Fanless 1U Hardware Housing: Encased inside a heavy-duty, compact metal chassis with a passive fanless cooling design that guarantees completely silent deployment in standard 19-inch racks.
