High-Capacity Plug-and-Play Gigabit PoE+ Expansion for Desktop Networks
The TRENDnet 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch (TPE-TG80g) offers a highly reliable, cost-effective solution for expanding local network footprints while delivering power over existing cabling infrastructure. Engineered for small-to-medium offices, home work environments, and edge device installations, this unmanaged desktop switch features 8 full Gigabit Ethernet ports that automatically detect and supply power to connected PoE hardware.
Equipped with a sturdy metal enclosure and an advanced fanless architecture, the TPE-TG80g delivers zero-decibel silent operation, making it ideal for desktop environments or noise-sensitive open office floor plans. With a high-capacity PoE power budget exceeding 120 Watts, this unmanaged Layer 2 switch effortlessly supports intensive edge device deployments—such as high-power wireless access points, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) IP surveillance cameras, and multi-line VoIP telephony setups—without complex software configurations.
Key Product Features
- All-Gigabit PoE+ Matrix: Outfitted with 8 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports that support both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, delivering up to 30W of power per port.
- High-Capacity Power Budget: Robust 120W+ total system PoE power budget ensures ample power allocation across multiple high-draw devices simultaneously.
- Silent Fanless Construction: Zero fan noise engineering allows the switch to sit directly on a desk, shelf, or workspace without distracting or disturbing personnel.
- Intelligent Energy Savings: Integrated GREENnet power-saving technology reduces energy footprint automatically by optimizing power delivery to ports based on link status and cable length.
- Rugged Metal Housing: Encased in a compact, durable steel chassis designed to handle everyday physical stress while providing optimal passive heat dissipation.
- Instant Plug-and-Play setup: Requires zero software installation, drivers, or complex administrative assignments; simply connect network cables and power up for full line-speed performance.
