TRENDnet TPE-TG80G 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Network Switch 123W

8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Desktop Switch

The TRENDnet TPE-TG80G is an unmanaged desktop switch with eight Gigabit PoE+ ports and a 123 W PoE power budget. It supports IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af standards, delivering up to 30 W per port for devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points or VoIP phones. A 16 Gbps switching capacity handles traffic across all ports. Sturdy metal housing and fanless design suit quiet office or home environments.

Upgrade from Non-PoE or Lower-Budget Switches

This switch replaces a standard non-PoE switch or an older PoE model with a smaller power budget when you need to power multiple devices over Ethernet cables. The jump is worth it if your current infrastructure cannot supply 30 W per port across eight ports simultaneously. It also adds IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet for reduced power draw during low-traffic periods. Plug-and-play operation removes the need for configuration software.

Check Power Requirements and Port Count

Verify that the total power draw of your PoE devices stays within the 123 W budget before ordering. Confirm that eight Gigabit ports match your current and near-term port needs, as the switch has no uplink ports and cannot be stacked. Ensure the external 52 VDC power adapter can reach a 100-240 V AC outlet. The fanless metal chassis requires adequate airflow around its 5.6" x 3.7" x 1.2" footprint.
