TRENDnet TI-PG102: Industrial Gigabit PoE+ DIN-Rail Switch

The TRENDnet TI-PG102 is a rugged, industrial-grade PoE+ switch designed to power and connect a wide range of devices in harsh environments. With eight PoE+ ports delivering up to a combined 240W of PoE power, it enables seamless deployment of cameras, access points, IP phones, and sensors right at the edge. Two additional Gigabit RJ-45/SFP shared ports provide flexible uplink options to your core network, helping you build scalable, low-latency networks in factory floors, transportation hubs, and other industrial settings. Engineered with an IP30-rated enclosure and convenient DIN-rail mounting, this switch combines reliability, performance, and ease of installation for industrial networks that demand uptime and resilience.

• Eight PoE+ ports with a total 240W budget: Power a fleet of IP cameras, wireless access points, and PoE-enabled sensors directly from the switch, reducing the need for separate power supplies and simplifying installation in space-constrained environments.
• Two gigabit RJ-45 / SFP shared uplink ports: Flexible uplink connectivity that lets you mix copper and fiber paths to your core network, supporting congested campuses, long-reach installations, or redundant links for mission-critical applications.
• Rugged DIN-rail mount and IP30 enclosure: Built to withstand industrial conditions, vibrations, and dust, while mounting neatly on standard DIN rails for organized, space-saving deployments in control rooms and equipment cabinets.
• Intelligent QoS and network protection: Quality of Service features prioritize latency-sensitive traffic such as video streams andVoIP, ensuring smooth operation of critical devices in industrial networks.
• Lifetime Protection and reliable performance: TRENDnet’s durable design and lifetime protection provide long-term reliability and peace of mind for deployments that require consistent, uninterrupted operation.

How to install TRENDnet TI-PG102

• Prepare the installation site: choose a sturdy DIN-rail mounting area inside a ventilated, dust-controlled cabinet or enclosure to protect the switch and connected devices.
• Mount the TI-PG102 on a standard DIN rail: align the switch with the DIN rail track and snap it into place securely, ensuring it is level and stable to withstand vibrations.
• Provide power to the unit: connect the appropriate power input as specified by TRENDnet’s installation guide. Ensure the power source meets the switch’s requirements and that connections are secure to prevent power interruptions.
• Connect PoE devices: plug your PoE-capable devices (such as cameras, IP phones, and wireless access points) into the eight PoE+ ports. The switch will allocate its 240W budget across these ports as devices negotiate power.
• Establish uplinks and network integration: use the two Gigabit RJ-45 / SFP shared ports to connect to your core network or to fiber media converters as needed. If using SFP modules, insert them per the manufacturer’s guidelines and connect the appropriate fiber connectors.
• Configure management features: access the built-in management interface to configure QoS, VLANs, PoE scheduling, and security settings. Create policies that prioritize real-time traffic and protect critical devices from network congestion.
• Validate operation: verify PoE delivery to powered devices, check link status LEDs, and confirm network reachability from a central controller or monitoring system. Periodically review power consumption to ensure you stay within the 240W budget.

Frequently asked questions

• What does the 240W PoE budget mean? The TI-PG102 can allocate up to a total of 240 watts of PoE power across its eight PoE+ ports. This enables powering multiple PoE devices simultaneously without needing a separate power injector for each device.
• How many PoE+ ports does it have? It features eight PoE+ ports that deliver power and data at Gigabit speeds, suitable for demanding edge deployments like security cameras and access points.
• What are the uplink options? The switch offers two shared uplink ports that can be used as Gigabit RJ-45 connections or converted to SFP fiber links, providing flexibility for uplink distance and reliability.
• Is this switch suitable for industrial environments? Yes. The TI-PG102 is designed with an IP30-rated rugged enclosure and DIN-rail mounting to withstand dust and vibration typical in industrial settings.
• Does it support QoS? Yes. Built-in QoS helps ensure critical traffic, such as video streams and voice, receives priority over less time-sensitive data.
• What warranty does TRENDnet offer? The TI-PG102 comes with Lifetime Protection, offering ongoing support and coverage for the product’s core functionality over time.
