TRENDnet 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch (TPE-TG80G)

A compact, silent, and powerful edge device, the TRENDnet TPE-TG80G brings PoE+ convenience and gigabit connectivity to small offices, studios, classrooms, and home labs. With eight PoE+ ports, a generous 123W PoE budget, and a robust 16 Gbps switching capacity, this desktop switch is designed to simplify installations, reduce cabling clutter, and power essential devices—from IP cameras to VoIP phones and wireless access points—without compromising performance or reliability.

• 8 x Gigabit PoE+ ports provide integrated data and power over Ethernet to eight PoE-enabled devices, enabling a clean, streamlined installation. Whether you’re powering security cameras, IP phones, or wireless access points, you can run a single cable for both power and data, reducing clutter and making deployments faster and more scalable.
• 123 W PoE power budget allocates power across the eight ports, allowing you to support multiple PoE devices simultaneously. The budget is designed to accommodate a mix of devices with varying power requirements, so you can add cameras, phones, or access points as your network grows without needing additional power injectors.
• 16 Gbps switching capacity delivers fast, reliable data transfer across all ports, supporting smooth video streams, high-quality VoIP calls, and quick file transfers even when multiple devices are actively communicating. This level of throughput is ideal for small office environments and edge deployments where performance matters.
• Compact fanless design ensures quiet operation in desks, offices, or classrooms. The absence of a fan reduces noise, helping create a more comfortable working environment while maintaining solid cooling for dependable long-term operation.
• Durable metal enclosure with a black finish combines professional aesthetics with rugged construction. Built to withstand daily use in busy environments, this TRENDnet switch also includes Lifetime Protection, providing ongoing peace of mind for your investment.

how to install TRENDnet TPE-TG80G

Setting up the TPE-TG80G is straightforward and designed for plug-and-play operation in most standard office and home networks. Follow these steps to deploy quickly and start powering PoE devices right away:

• Place the switch on a stable surface near your networking gear. The compact, desktop-friendly design fits easily on a desk, shelf, or cabinet.
• Connect your router or upstream network device to one of the switch’s Gigabit ports using a standard Ethernet patch cable. This uplink provides the path for data to flow between the switch and the broader network.
• Plug the included power adapter into a power outlet and connect it to the switch. The unit will power on automatically, and PoE devices connected to the PoE+ ports will begin drawing power as needed.
• Connect PoE-enabled devices—such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points—directly to the eight PoE+ ports. Use high-quality Ethernet cables to ensure optimal performance and PoE delivery.
• Power on all devices and verify connectivity. The TPE-TG80G is designed for reliable, plug-and-play operation; additional management features are not required for basic PoE+ power and data routing, but consult the user manual if you need to optimize performance for specific devices.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How many devices can I power with the 123 W budget?
