TRENDnet TI-PG162: 16-Port Hardened Industrial Unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ DIN-Rail Switch

When reliability, ruggedness, and simplicity are non-negotiable in industrial networks, the TRENDnet TI-PG162 delivers. This 16-port hardened industrial unmanaged Gigabit PoE+ switch packs 14 robust PoE+ RJ-45 ports with 2 Gigabit SFP slots into a compact, IP30-rated metal chassis designed to thrive in harsh environments—from factory floors to remote monitoring outposts. With a generous 32 Gbps switching capacity, this DIN-rail switch handles dense traffic and uplink efficiency without the need for complex configuration. Its wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C ensures dependable operation in extreme heat, cold, dust, and vibration, while the ability to mount on DIN-rail or wall makes it easy to deploy in tight spaces. Designed for continuity, it supports multiple power inputs for redundancy, and the power supply TI-M6024 is sold separately to tailor your uptime strategy. Turbocharged by TRENDnet’s Lifetime Protection, the TI-PG162 is a long-term backbone for industrial networks requiring durable, plug-and-play Ethernet with PoE capabilities.

• Rugged, industrial-grade design — Built in an IP30-rated metal enclosure that stands up to dust, moisture, and vibrations in challenging environments. The wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F) ensures stable performance across outdoor enclosures, factory floors, and harsh installations.
• Flexible port configuration for edge-to-core deployments — 14 x PoE+ Gigabit RJ-45 ports give you power-over-Ethernet for cameras, sensors, and wireless access points, while 2 x Gigabit SFP slots provide high-speed fiber uplinks or network segmentation for centralized management and bandwidth efficiency.
• Unmanaged, plug-and-play operation — Designed for straightforward use, this switch requires no complex configuration. Simply mount, connect devices, and power up to enjoy immediate network access and PoE distribution where you need it most.
• Redundant power options and easy integration — With multiple power inputs, the TI-PG162 supports redundancy to keep critical devices online during power fluctuations. The external power supply TI-M6024 is sold separately, enabling you to tailor uptime and resilience to your exact application needs.

how to install TI-PG162

• Prepare the installation space by selecting a cool, dry location with adequate airflow. Verify that mounting surfaces can support the weight and vibration profile of the switch, and ensure there is clearance for cables and connectors.
• Mount the TI-PG162 on a standard DIN-rail using the included mounting brackets. Secure the device firmly to prevent vibration or displacement in operation, and verify that the rail is properly anchored.
• Connect fiber uplinks or copper network connections. If using fiber, insert the appropriate transceivers into the two Gigabit SFP slots and attach the fiber cables to the SFP ports. For copper deployments, connect devices to the 14 PoE+ RJ-45 ports and ensure Ethernet cables are rated for industrial use.
• Power the device with a suitable power arrangement. If you are implementing redundancy, connect power inputs to multiple sources; otherwise, connect the external power supply TI-M6024 if your installation requires PoE distribution and additional power redundancy. Ensure all power connections are secure and compliant with local electrical codes.
• Power on and verify functionality. Since the TI-PG162 is an unmanaged switch, there is no software configuration needed. Check PoE status on the connected devices, confirm link/activity LEDs, and verify network access across the connected endpoints. Label cables for future maintenance and monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

• Is the TI-PG162 PoE+ capable on all RJ-45 ports? Yes. The TI-PG162 provides PoE+ on its 14 RJ-45 ports to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and sensors.
