TRENDnet 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch TPE-TG160H

Power, performance, and simplicity converge in the TRENDnet TPE-TG160H. This 16-port Gigabit PoE+ switch is engineered to deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to a wide range of PoE devices, making it an ideal solution for small to medium networks such as office suites, retail environments, schools, and security deployments. With a robust 32 Gbps switching capacity and a generous 123W PoE budget, the TPE-TG160H handles multiple high-demand devices without compromising throughput or reliability. Its fanless design guarantees silent operation in quiet spaces, while the rugged metal chassis keeps heat under control and stands up to daily use. Whether you deploy as a compact desktop switch or as a 1U rack-mountable unit, this TRENDnet switch simplifies installation, reduces cabling complexity, and lowers total cost of ownership by delivering power and data over existing network cables.

• 16 x Gigabit PoE+ ports with IEEE 802.3af/at compliance — power IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE devices while preserving full Gigabit data speeds on every link. This integration eliminates the need for separate power drops and minimizes cable clutter in crowded workspaces and small data closets.
• 32 Gbps switching capacity with non-blocking performance — ensures smooth, low-latency data transmission even when multiple PoE devices are actively communicating. Perfect for streaming surveillance video, handling high-definition IP camera feeds, and maintaining fluid VoIP calls across a busy network without bottlenecks.
• 123W PoE power budget — distributes power across ports to support modern PoE+ devices; this budget enables reliable operation for multiple devices simultaneously, providing headroom for future scalability as your network grows.
• Fanless design for silent operation — ideal for office, classroom, or retail environments where noise matters. Fewer moving parts also translates to lower maintenance, enhanced reliability, and a longer lifespan under continuous load.
• 1U 19" rack-mountable with included brackets — flexible deployment options to fit your infrastructure. The sturdy metal enclosure improves heat dissipation and durability, while the option to mount in a standard 19" rack or place on a desk offers versatile configuration for changing spaces.
