TRENDnet TI-IG290: 95W 2-Port Industrial 2.5G PoE++ Injector
The TRENDnet TI-IG290 delivers robust PoE++ power to devices on a non-PoE 2.5G switch, enabling high-performance networking in demanding environments. With a total power budget of 95W across two ports, this industrial-grade injector combines power and data delivery over standard Ethernet cables, so you can extend your network without replacing your existing switch infrastructure. Supporting PoE standards IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and IEEE 802.3bt, TI-IG290 is built for today’s power-hungry devices while keeping your deployment simple, safe, and scalable. Designed for reliability in rugged settings, it is the ideal choice for powering 2.5G IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE/PoE++ devices at the edge of the network.
- Add PoE++ power to a non-PoE 2.5G switch by using the TI-IG290’s two PoE++ output ports, enabling you to power two high-demand devices without replacing your current switch hardware.
- Two-port, high-performance design provides independent PoE++ outputs for two devices, helping you deploy multiple edge devices with reliable power and data delivery from a single unit.
- 2.5G Ethernet capability supports modern, bandwidth-hungry devices while maintaining compatibility with existing 1G and 2.5G networks, ensuring future-proofing for evolving workloads.
- Long-reach power and data delivers power and network connectivity over standard Ethernet cables up to 100 meters (328 feet) to powered devices, enabling flexible placements and remote deployments without intermediate equipment.
- Industrial-grade, safety-conscious design comes in a rugged black enclosure designed for demanding environments, with active PoE negotiation to ensure safe startup and operation of connected devices; it is explicitly Not compatible with passive PoE devices.

How to Install TRENDnet TI-IG290
1) Position the TI-IG290 near your non-PoE 2.5G switch in a ventilation-friendly area. Roughly speaking, place it where you can easily route two outbound cables to your PoE devices and a single inbound cable from the non-PoE switch.
2) Connect an Ethernet cable from the non-PoE 2.5G switch to the TI-IG290’s input port. This link carries data to the injector so that it can deliver both data and power to the two PoE ports.
3) Run two separate Ethernet cables from the TI-IG290’s PoE++ output ports to your PoE/PoE++ devices (for example, IP cameras, access points, or high-demand sensors) at distances up to 100 meters per link. Ensure the cables are certified (Cat5e or better) to preserve 2.5G performance and power delivery.
4) Connect the TI-IG290 to a suitable power source that matches the device’s requirements. The injector provides PoE power to connected devices, but the unit itself must be powered to operate. Ensure the power connection is secure and provides stable power to avoid intermittent operation.
5) Verify operation using the device indicators and test each connected PoE device. Confirm that each PoE++ device powers on correctly and that network traffic passes as expected. If any device does not power or connect, recheck cable integrity, port assignments, and compatibility with IEEE standards.
6) For best results in industrial deployments, maintain proper cable management and provide adequate ventilation around the TI-IG290 to prevent overheating during prolonged operation. Regularly inspect connectors and enclosures to ensure continued reliability in harsh environments.
