TRENDnet 16-Port Hardened Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit DIN-Rail Switch TI-G162
Discover the reliability and rugged performance of the TRENDnet TI-G162, a 16-port hardened industrial unmanaged Gigabit switch designed for challenging environments. This DIN-rail switch blends 14 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports with 2 Gigabit SFP slots to deliver flexible, high-speed connectivity across a variety of industrial networks. Built to endure dust, vibration, and temperature extremes, the IP30-rated metal enclosure protects critical networking gear in factory floors, utilities, transportation hubs, and outdoor cabinets. With a generous 32 Gbps switching capacity and plug-and-play operation, TI-G162 simplifies deployments while still offering robust features that industrial operators demand. When paired with TRENDnet’s TI-M6024 power supply, this switch supports redundant power inputs for mission-critical uptime, backed by TRENDnet Lifetime Protection for long-term confidence in your infrastructure.
- 16-Port configuration: 14 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports plus 2 Gigabit SFP slots provide flexible copper and fiber uplink options for resilient, scalable networks.
- Rugged, IP30 enclosure: Hardened metal housing protects against dust, moisture, and environmental wear, making TI-G162 ideal for harsh industrial settings.
- High-capacity, unmanaged performance: 32 Gbps switching capacity enables fast, low-latency data forwarding without the complexity of managed switches.
- Wide operating temperature range: Designed to perform reliably from -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F), suitable for extreme industrial environments.
- Flexible mounting and power redundancy: Includes DIN-Rail and wall-mount brackets; multiple power inputs support redundant power when using the TI-M6024 power supply (sold separately).

How to Install TRENDnet TI-G162
- Choose a suitable installation location: Select a stable, well-ventilated area within an enclosure or cabinet where the switch can be easily accessed for cabling and maintenance, and where ambient temperatures remain within the -40°C to 75°C range.
- Mount the switch: Use the included DIN-Rail brackets or wall-mount brackets to secure the TI-G162. Ensure the device is firmly mounted to withstand vibration and avoid cable strain on ports.
- Provide power for redundancy: Connect the TI-G162 to a power source using the recommended TRENDnet TI-M6024 power supply for multiple inputs and redundancy. Note that the power supply is sold separately.
- Connect network cabling: Attach Ethernet devices to the 14 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and use the 2 Gigabit SFP slots for fiber uplinks or future fiber expansions. Optimize cable routing to minimize interference and maintain reliable connections.
- Power up and verify: Apply power and confirm link/activity indicators on the ports. Since TI-G162 is an unmanaged switch, plug-and-play operation occurs immediately without requiring software configuration; verify connectivity to essential devices and sensors in the network.
