User Manual
FAQ
What is the port configuration on the TRENDnet TEG-S327 switch?
The TEG-S327 features seven RJ-45 ports: five operate at standard Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) speeds, while two support Multi-Gigabit Ethernet at 2.5 Gbps. This hybrid design allows you to connect a mix of legacy and higher-speed devices, with the 2.5 Gigabit ports being backward compatible to 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps for seamless integration.
Is this switch manageable, and what Layer does it support?
Yes, the TEG-S327 is a manageable Layer 2 switch. This means it supports basic network management features such as VLAN configuration, traffic prioritization, and port monitoring. Layer 2 switching operates at the data link layer, enabling efficient forwarding of frames based on MAC addresses within your local network.
Does the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the TRENDnet TEG-S327 does not provide Power over Ethernet. It is a non-PoE switch designed for data connectivity only. Each connected device must have its own independent power source. For PoE requirements, consider TRENDnet's dedicated PoE switch models.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?
The switch measures 6.30 inches (160 mm) in length, 4.29 inches (109 mm) in height, and 0.98 inches (25 mm) in width. It supports both desktop placement with included rubber feet and wall mounting using the integrated keyhole slots. Its compact, all-metal construction is durable and facilitates passive cooling without fans.
What cabling is required for the 2.5 Gigabit ports?
The 2.5 Gigabit ports are designed to work with existing Cat5e or better Ethernet cabling. For optimal performance at 2.5 Gbps speeds, ensure your cabling is in good condition and meets Cat5e specifications. The switch automatically negotiates speeds, so it will function with Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6a cables without manual configuration.
What warranty and compliance certifications does this switch have?
TRENDnet backs the TEG-S327 with a lifetime warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan. It is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for U.S. and Canadian government procurement under NDAA requirements. The switch is manufactured in Taiwan and adheres to relevant IEEE networking standards.
