Product Features
Technical Overview
The TEG-S380 provides a robust switching foundation with eight 2.5GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, each capable of auto-negotiating speeds down to 1000Mbps, 100Mbps, and 10Mbps for full backward compatibility with existing network devices. It supports twisted-pair cabling (Cat5e or better) and adheres to the IEEE 802.3bz standard for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet over copper, ensuring interoperability in mixed-speed environments.
With a non-blocking switching capacity of 40Gbps, the switch handles simultaneous data flows across all ports without congestion, supporting smooth network performance for connected workstations, NAS devices, and multimedia endpoints. Its Layer 2 operation enables basic switching functions like MAC address learning and forwarding, while the unmanaged nature simplifies deployment by eliminating VLAN, QoS, or monitoring configurations.

User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can I connect to the TRENDnet TEG-S380 switch?
The TEG-S380 provides eight 2.5GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, allowing direct connections for up to eight network devices such as computers, NAS units, printers, or IP cameras. Each port auto-negotiates speeds down to 1000Mbps, 100Mbps, or 10Mbps for compatibility with older equipment.
Is this switch compatible with my existing network cables and devices?
Yes, the switch is fully backward compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps devices and works with standard twisted-pair cabling like Cat5e or better. It auto-negotiates to the highest common speed between connected devices, so you can mix 2.5G and Gigabit equipment on the same network without issues.
Does the TRENDnet TEG-S380 support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the TEG-S380 does not provide Power over Ethernet. It is a standard unmanaged switch that requires connected devices to have their own power sources. For PoE capabilities, you would need a dedicated PoE switch model from TRENDnet or another manufacturer.
What is the switching capacity of this switch, and why does it matter?
The TEG-S380 offers a 40Gbps switching capacity, which represents the total bandwidth available for simultaneous data transfers across all ports. This non-blocking design ensures that traffic flows smoothly even when multiple devices are communicating at full 2.5G speeds, preventing bottlenecks in high-demand scenarios like video editing or large file transfers.
Can I mount the TRENDnet TEG-S380 on a wall or in a rack?
The switch is designed for wall mounting with built-in slots on its underside, making it easy to install on vertical surfaces. It is not a rack-mountable unit; for rack deployment, you would need a shelf or a different switch model specifically designed with rack ears and standard rack unit dimensions.
What warranty comes with the TRENDnet TEG-S380 switch?
TRENDnet provides a lifetime limited warranty for the TEG-S380, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan. This warranty applies to purchases in the U.S. and Canada, offering long-term assurance and support for your network investment.
