Product Features
Technical Overview
This Layer 2 managed switch operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) across all ports, supporting twisted-pair cabling for reliable copper connectivity. The 185W total PoE budget is intelligently allocated across the 16 PoE+ ports, ensuring consistent power delivery to connected devices without overloading the system.
Two shared SFP slots provide flexible uplink options, allowing connection to fiber optic networks or extended copper runs where standard Ethernet ports reach limitations. The web smart management interface enables VLAN configuration, QoS prioritization, port mirroring, and link aggregation, giving network administrators control over traffic flow and security without requiring advanced CLI expertise.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Modular, Stack Port, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The TPE-1620WS combines high-density PoE+ deployment with accessible management in a cost-effective package. Its 16 PoE+ ports eliminate the need for separate power injectors or midspans, simplifying installations and reducing cable clutter. The web smart interface offers essential managed switch features without the complexity of full Layer 3 routing, making it suitable for organizations transitioning from unmanaged to managed networking.
High-Density PoE+ Deployment
All 16 Gigabit ports deliver PoE+ power, supporting IEEE 802.3at devices up to 30W per port for simultaneous power and data transmission.
- Eliminates separate power supplies
- Simplifies IP camera and WAP installations
- Reduces installation time and costs
Flexible Uplink Connectivity
Two shared SFP slots enable fiber or extended copper uplinks, providing backbone connectivity options for diverse network architectures.
- Fiber connectivity for longer distances
- Copper SFP modules for cost-effective runs
- Shared design maximizes port utilization
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is particularly effective in environments where multiple PoE devices need centralized power and management. Small business offices can use it to power VoIP phone systems while maintaining data connectivity to workstations and servers. Retail locations benefit from powering security cameras and wireless access points from a single network closet location.
Educational institutions deploy these switches in classrooms and administrative areas to support digital learning tools and campus security systems. The 1U form factor makes it suitable for rack-mounted installations in server rooms, network closets, or wall-mounted cabinets where space is at a premium.
IP Surveillance Systems
Power up to 16 PoE+ security cameras while maintaining high-bandwidth video streaming to network video recorders.
Business VoIP Deployments
Deliver both power and connectivity to IP phones throughout office environments, reducing power outlet requirements at each desk.
Physical Profile
The switch features a durable black steel chassis measuring 3" (76.20 mm) in height, 12" (304.80 mm) in width, and 17.30" (439.42 mm) in depth, designed specifically for 1U rack mounting. Weighing approximately 7.04 lb (3193.29 g), it maintains a compact footprint while providing substantial port density. The included rack mount kit facilitates secure installation in standard 19" server racks, and the front-accessible ports simplify cable management during deployment.
