TRENDnet TPE-TG82G 8-Port GREENnet Gigabit PoE+ Switch

Discover a powerful, energy-efficient way to power and connect IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices with the TRENDnet 8-Port GREENnet Gigabit PoE+ Switch. Engineered for reliability in small offices, retail spaces, classrooms, and home offices, this unmanaged switch combines robust data throughput with a generous PoE budget in a compact, quiet chassis. With 16 Gbps of switching capacity and GREENnet energy-saving technology, you get strong network performance while minimizing power consumption. It’s the ideal solution when you want to simplify deployments, reduce cable clutter, and ensure all your PoE devices receive both data and power over a single Ethernet connection.

• Power over Ethernet on select ports: Four PoE+ ports supply up to a total PoE budget of 61W, enabling you to power security cameras, wireless APs, IP phones, and other PoE devices directly from the switch without separate power adapters.
• Gigabit performance with ample capacity: Eight 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports deliver reliable, high-speed data transfer. A 16 Gbps switching capacity ensures smooth video streams, quick file transfers, and responsive network operation even with multiple devices on the network.
• Unmanaged, plug-and-play simplicity: No complex configuration or management software required—just connect, power, and go. Auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on every port simplify cabling and setup, making it ideal for environments where ease of use is paramount.
• Energy-saving GREENnet technology: GREENnet reduces power consumption by dynamically adjusting power usage to match actual traffic, helping lower operational costs while maintaining reliable PoE performance for connected devices.
• Flexible, compact deployment for diverse environments: With four PoE+ ports and four standard PoE-off ports, this switch is well-suited for IP cameras, APs, and other PoE devices across small networks. Its compact, quiet design is ideal for desks, cabinets, or wall-mounting in appropriate spaces.

how to install TRENDnet 8-Port GREENnet Gigabit PoE+ Switch

• Plan a suitable location with adequate ventilation and proximity to a power outlet. The switch is compact and designed for quiet operation in office or home environments.
• Connect the switch to your network backbone by plugging an Ethernet cable from your router or upstream switch into any non-PoE port or the uplink-capable port, as preferred for your topology.
• Power the switch by plugging the included power adapter into a wall outlet and connecting it to the switch’s power input. Ensure the power source remains stable to avoid interruptions to PoE devices.
• Attach PoE-capable devices (such as IP cameras and wireless access points) to the PoE-enabled ports. These ports will deliver both data and power over a single Ethernet cable.
• Power on all connected devices and verify link/activity LEDs. Because this is an unmanaged switch, no configuration is required—your devices should immediately establish connections and begin receiving power where applicable.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How many devices can I power with the 61W PoE budget? A: The switch has four PoE+ ports with a collective budget of 61W, so you can power multiple PoE devices such as IP cameras and PoE access points simultaneously, depending on the power requirements of each device.
• Q: Do I need to configure anything to use this switch? A: No. This is an unmanaged, plug-and-play switch. Simply connect devices and it will pass data and, if applicable, power over Ethernet without requiring setup or management software.
• Q: Is this switch compatible with PoE+ devices? A: Yes. It supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) devices, enabling a wide range of IP cameras, APs, and other PoE-enabled equipment.
• Q: Can I mount this switch on a wall or rack? A: The TRENDnet TPE-TG82G is designed for compact deployment in desks, cabinets, and other spaces. Check the product’s mounting options to determine suitability for wall or rack mounting in your setup.
• Q: What about energy usage? A: The GREENnet technology reduces power consumption by adjusting power based on network activity, helping decrease energy costs without compromising essential PoE functionality for connected devices.
