Trendnet TPE-TG160G Unmanaged Switch

TRENDnet TPE-TG160G is an unmanaged 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switch designed for rack-mounted network deployments. The metal 1U chassis includes a rack mount kit and provides a 32 Gbps switching capacity with a total PoE power budget of 246 Watts, allowing multiple PoE and PoE+ devices to be connected simultaneously.

Advantages

The switch automatically detects non-PoE, PoE (15.4 W) and PoE+ (30 W) devices and delivers the appropriate power to each port. With a 246 W PoE budget and 16 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, it supports full PoE power to devices while maintaining Gigabit throughput and Jumbo Frame support up to 10 KB. The unmanaged design offers plug-and-play installation and compliance with IEEE networking standards for straightforward integration.

Suitable for

• Small to medium office and branch networks requiring PoE-powered devices
• IP camera systems and surveillance installations
• Access point and VoIP phone deployments
• Rack-mounted network expansions in wiring closets or equipment rooms

How to use

Mount the switch in a standard 19" rack using the supplied rack mount kit or place it on a flat surface. Connect network devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports; the switch will automatically detect PoE requirements and supply power up to the supported level per port. Connect the switch to your network core or router via one of the Gigabit ports. No configuration is required for basic operation.

Recommendations

Place the switch in a ventilated rack space and ensure the total power draw of connected PoE devices does not exceed the 246 W budget. For high-density PoE+ deployments, verify each device’s power class and distribute critical devices across ports to avoid power limitation on a single group of ports.
