TRENDnet TI-G50: 5-Port Hardened Industrial Gigabit DIN-Rail Switch

The TRENDnet TI-G50 is a purpose-built, hardened industrial gigabit switch designed to power mission-critical networks in the harshest environments. Built for reliability on factory floors, in outdoor enclosures, and across demanding transportation and utility deployments, this 5-port DIN-Rail switch blends rugged construction with precise performance. Its IP30-rated enclosure guards against dust and debris, while the compact form factor and dual mounting options—DIN-Rail and wall mount—make integration effortless in tight spaces. With a robust 10 Gbps switching capacity, the TI-G50 delivers low-latency, high-throughput links between controllers, sensors, PLCs, and edge devices, ensuring your industrial network stays responsive and resilient even under heavy workloads. For operators seeking a durable, long-term networking solution, the TI-G50 offers dependable performance, simplified installation, and lifetime protection that aligns with industrial-grade expectations.

• The TI-G50 is engineered for industrial reliability, featuring a rugged metal housing and protective IP30 enclosure to resist dust, vibration, and clean-room like contaminants in factory settings. Its hardened design is purpose-built to maintain stable network connectivity in environments where standard consumer switches would struggle, delivering consistent performance over extended service life and reducing maintenance interruptions on critical automation tasks.
• Five-port Gigabit performance provides flexible edge connectivity across devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, robotics, and supervisory computer systems. With a total switching capacity up to 10 Gbps, the TI-G50 supports simultaneous data streams with low latency, helping to synchronize real-time control loops, facilitate efficient data aggregation, and enable robust device communication in complex industrial networks without bottlenecks.
• Extreme temperature operation and rugged protection ensure dependable operation from frigid enclosures to hot electrical rooms. The TI-G50 accommodates a wide operating range (-40 to 75 °C / -40 to 167 °F), allowing deployment in freezers, outdoor cabinets, and machine rooms where ambient conditions are variable. This capability minimizes the need for supplemental climate control and reduces the risk of performance degradation due to thermal stress.
• Flexible mounting options simplify installation in constrained spaces. The TI-G50 ships with both DIN-Rail brackets and wall-mount hardware, enabling quick attachment inside a cabinet, on a panel, or directly to a wall in tight environments. This adaptability helps engineers optimize cabling routes, improve airflow, and maintain tidy, serviceable deployments across plant floors or field installations.
• Lifetime protection and value-added durability provide enduring confidence. TRENDnet’s lifetime protection covers the TI-G50 against manufacturing defects and supports long-term reliability in industrial applications. This warranty aligns with the longer lifecycles typical of industrial networks, reducing total cost of ownership and ensuring continued operation of essential connectivity in production lines and critical infrastructure projects.
