Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch delivers full Gigabit performance across all 24 RJ-45 ports, supporting auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Base-T connections. The two SFP slots accept 100/1000Base-FX fiber modules, enabling long-distance uplinks to network cores or connections between buildings. With a non-blocking switching capacity of 52Gbps, it ensures wire-speed forwarding for data-intensive applications.
Layer 2 management features include IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for network segmentation, LACP for link aggregation, and STP/RSTP for loop prevention. Quality of Service is handled through IEEE 802.1p prioritization with queue scheduling, allowing critical traffic like VoIP or industrial control data to receive priority bandwidth. IGMP snooping and MVR support optimize multicast streaming for video surveillance or digital signage deployments.

User Manual
FAQ
How many ports does this switch have and what types are they?
The TRENDnet TI-RG262i has 26 total ports: 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports for copper connections and 2 SFP slots for fiber optic modules. The RJ-45 ports support 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation, while the SFP slots accept 100/1000Base-FX fiber transceivers for uplink connections.
What does 'industrial' mean for this switch compared to standard switches?
Industrial designation indicates this switch is built for harsh environments. It features a fanless design to eliminate dust ingress points, operates across an extreme temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, and has an IP30-rated metal housing that protects against solid objects. These features ensure reliability in manufacturing, outdoor, or uncontrolled environments where commercial switches might fail.
What management options are available for this Layer 2 managed switch?
The switch offers comprehensive management through multiple interfaces: command-line interface (CLI) accessible via console port, Telnet, or SSH; web-based management through HTTP; and SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 for monitoring. This allows network administrators to configure VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, spanning tree, and security policies according to their network requirements.
Can this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE) for connected devices?
No, the TI-RG262i does not provide Power over Ethernet. It is a non-PoE industrial switch designed for data connectivity in harsh environments. For PoE requirements in similar conditions, TRENDnet offers separate industrial PoE switch models with power budgeting capabilities.
What are the rack mounting specifications and physical dimensions?
The switch is 1U rack-mountable with dimensions of 17.32" wide, 11.18" deep, and 1.73" high (440 x 284 x 44 mm). It weighs 7.63 lb (3460 g) and includes mounting hardware for standard 19" racks. The compact 1U form factor maximizes rack space efficiency while the all-metal construction provides durability in industrial installations.
What power input does this switch require and does it support redundancy?
The switch uses 48-57V DC input through a terminal block connector, compatible with industrial power supplies. It supports redundant power supply configurations for high-availability deployments, allowing connection of a backup power source to maintain operation during primary power failures. The switch consumes approximately 20W under normal operation.
