16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

The TRENDnet TPE-TG160g provides sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support. It delivers data and power over a single cable to devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones. A 246 W PoE budget and 32 Gbps switching capacity handle demanding network loads. The 1U metal chassis includes rack-mount brackets for standard 19-inch cabinets.

Upgrade from non-PoE or lower-budget switches

Replacing a standard switch removes the need for separate power injectors or midspans. The jump is worthwhile when deploying PoE devices that require up to 30 W per port under IEEE 802.3at. Installations limited to 15.4 W per port under IEEE 802.3af gain extra headroom for newer endpoints. Networks without rack space or those needing uplink ports should consider other form factors.

Capacity and headroom

The 246 W budget comfortably powers sixteen 802.3af devices or a mix of 802.3at endpoints within the total limit. An 8K MAC address table and 10 KB jumbo frame support suit typical business traffic. Buffer memory of 512 KB absorbs burst traffic without loss. Smart fans regulate temperature from 0 °C to 40 °C. Environments requiring more than sixteen ports or a higher PoE budget exceed this model's capabilities.

Questions about this item

What rack space and width does the 1U metal housing require?

The switch fits a standard 19-inch rack and occupies 1U of vertical space at 1.70 inches high, 17.30 inches wide and 8.30 inches deep.

How do I power the unit and connect PoE devices without exceeding the 246 W budget?

Plug the included power cord into a 110-240 V AC outlet; the internal supply delivers up to 246 W across the 16 PoE+ ports, so add device draws before connecting all ports.

Do the smart fans need cleaning or filter changes over time?

The built-in smart fans are maintenance-free; keep the ventilation openings clear of dust and operate within 0°C to 40°C for reliable cooling.
