TRENDnet 8-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Wall-Mounted Front Access Switch TI-PG80F

The TRENDnet TI-PG80F is engineered for industrial networks where reliability, continuous uptime, and efficient power delivery are non-negotiable. This 8-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ switch combines rugged, dust-resistant protection with practical design features that streamline deployment in harsh environments. With eight Gigabit PoE+ ports, it provides both data connectivity and power over Ethernet to a range of devices—from high-definition IP cameras and wireless access points to sensors and industrial controllers—without the need for separate power supplies for each device. The front-access design makes daily maintenance and troubleshooting straightforward, while the switch’s versatile mounting options—wall-mount and DIN-rail—allow seamless integration into control panels, cabinets, or field enclosures. A broad DC input range of 48-57V supports standard industrial power rails, and a generous 200W PoE budget ensures multiple devices can be powered simultaneously. All told, TI-PG80F is built to deliver dependable network performance in factories, distribution centers, transportation hubs, and other demanding industrial settings, enabling streamlined installations, simplified cabling, and robust, long-term operation.

In industrial environments where space is at a premium and reliability is critical, the TI-PG80F stands out for its front-accessible, ready-to-deploy design. The rugged enclosure protects sensitive electronics from dust and debris, while the IP30 rating provides a practical level of protection in factory floors, warehouses, and outdoor enclosures that are shielded from direct moisture exposure. With a power input range of 48-57V DC, the switch is well-suited to standard industrial power systems, reducing voltage conversion needs and improving overall system efficiency. The 200W PoE budget is carefully allocated to support multiple PoE+ devices at once, allowing designers to deploy surveillance cameras, access points, and terminal devices without worrying about exhausting the power budget. This means faster deployments, fewer power adapters, and cleaner cable management—an important advantage when space is limited or when devices must be rearranged over time. The TI-PG80F’s combination of high-performance PoE, rugged construction, and flexible mounting makes it a compelling choice for customers who require a scalable, durable edge switch for mission-critical networks.

• Powerful 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ capability: Each of the eight ports delivers PoE+ power (IEEE 802.3at compliant) to support devices such as IP cameras, door controllers, wireless access points, and industrial sensors. This enables centralized management and reduces the need for separate DC power supplies for each device, simplifying wiring diagrams and field installations.
• Substantial PoE budget of 200W: A total PoE budget of 200W gives you the capability to run multiple high-demand devices at once. This is particularly advantageous for surveillance systems with several cameras, or for installations that combine multiple access points with high-power sensors, all while keeping headroom for future expansion.
• Flexible mounting options with front-access design: The TI-PG80F is designed for convenient front-access servicing, and supports both wall mounting and DIN-rail installations. This flexibility is essential for tight control panels, compact cabinet spaces, and retrofits where space is at a premium, ensuring ports remain accessible for quick changes and diagnostics.
• Rugged IP30 enclosure for harsh environments: Built to withstand typical manufacturing floor conditions, the IP30-rated housing protects internal circuitry from dust and light impact. This rugged enclosure helps preserve performance and longevity in challenging environments where equipment is exposed to debris, vibrations, and temperature variation.
• Lifetime Protection and reliable performance: TRENDnet’s Lifetime Protection provides confidence through enduring support and coverage. The TI-PG80F is designed with robust components and engineering to operate continuously in demanding industrial networks, backed by a commitment to long-term reliability and serviceability.

How to install TRENDnet TI-PG80F

Installing the TI-PG80F is straightforward and designed to minimize disruption to your existing infrastructure. Follow these practical steps to deploy quickly and safely:

• Assess the installation site and plan cable routing to keep the front panel clear for port access. Ensure the location has adequate ventilation and is protected from direct moisture or water exposure.
• Choose the mounting method: wall-mount the unit if you need easy access to ports and cabling, or install on a DIN-rail for integration within a cabinet or equipment rack. Use the included mounting hardware appropriate for your chosen method.
• Prepare the power connection by selecting a 48-57V DC power supply that aligns with your power infrastructure. Connect the DC input with correct polarity, securing connectors to prevent accidental disconnections during operation.
• Connect powered devices to the PoE+ ports. Run Ethernet cables from cameras, wireless access points, or other PoE-capable devices to the switch’s ports. Keep power budgeting in mind to avoid exceeding the 200W total PoE budget.
• Power on and verify operation. Observe the port status indicators for link activity and PoE activity. If necessary, configure network settings and segmentation (VLANs, QoS, or port-based policies) per your network design to optimize performance and security.
• Document the deployment for maintenance and future changes. Record power usage and port assignments, and plan for routine inspections to ensure continued reliability in the industrial environment.
• Utilize Lifetime Protection by keeping firmware up to date and contacting TRENDnet support for any hardware concerns or warranty needs, ensuring long-term protection and serviceability.
