User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The TPE-TG80G can power up to eight PoE or PoE+ devices simultaneously, with a total PoE budget of 123W. Each port automatically negotiates power delivery based on the connected device's requirements, supporting IEEE 802.3af (PoE, up to 15.4W per port) and 802.3at (PoE+, up to 30W per port) standards. The switch distributes power intelligently across all ports without manual configuration.
Is this switch manageable via a web interface or software?
No, the TPE-TG80G is an unmanaged switch, meaning it does not include a web interface, CLI, or software management capabilities. It operates in plug-and-play mode with auto-negotiation for speed, duplex, and PoE settings. This design simplifies deployment for users who do not require VLANs, QoS, or other advanced networking features.
What is the switching capacity and how does it affect performance?
The switch offers 16 Gbps of total switching capacity, which ensures non-blocking performance across all eight Gigabit ports. This capacity allows the switch to handle full wire-speed data transfer on every port simultaneously without congestion. For example, with eight devices transferring data at 1 Gbps each, the internal switching fabric can manage the aggregate 8 Gbps traffic without dropping packets.
Does this switch support energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE)?
Yes, the TPE-TG80G complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards. This technology reduces power consumption during periods of low data activity by putting unused ports into a low-power state. EEE helps lower operating costs and environmental impact without affecting network performance when traffic resumes.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of this switch?
The switch measures 5.90" (149.86 mm) in length, 5.60" (142.24 mm) in width, and 1.20" (30.48 mm) in height, with a weight of approximately 14.11 oz (400 g). Its compact metal desktop form factor includes rubber feet for stability, making it suitable for placement on shelves, desks, or in small network cabinets without requiring rack mounting.
What warranty coverage does TRENDnet provide for this switch?
TRENDnet offers a lifetime warranty for the TPE-TG80G, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan. This warranty applies to the original purchaser and includes repair or replacement services. It reflects the switch's build quality and reliability, providing long-term assurance for deployments in business or institutional settings.
