Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on Gigabit Ethernet technology, the TPE-1620WSF supports 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-X via SFP modules for optical fiber. Its Layer 3 switching foundation supports advanced routing protocols and VLAN management, offering greater control over network segmentation and traffic flow compared to basic Layer 2 switches.
The integrated Web Smart interface provides an accessible, browser-based management platform for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting without requiring extensive CLI expertise. Four dedicated SFP (mini-GBIC) expansion slots are shared with the RJ-45 uplink ports, allowing network architects to tailor the uplink strategy to specific cabling and distance requirements.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of the TPE-1620WSF switch, and how many PoE+ ports does it have?
The TRENDnet TPE-1620WSF provides a 370-watt Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) budget distributed across 16 dedicated Gigabit PoE+ ports. This budget allows the switch to simultaneously deliver power to multiple IEEE 802.3at compliant devices, such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones, with up to 30 watts available per port.
How do the four shared uplink ports work on this switch?
The switch features four shared Gigabit Ethernet ports that can function either as standard RJ-45 copper ports or as SFP fiber optic slots. These are combo ports, meaning each port pair (RJ-45 and its corresponding SFP slot) shares the same switching backplane. You can use either the copper interface or insert an SFP module for fiber connectivity, but not both simultaneously on the same shared port.
What does 'Layer 3 managed' mean for this Web Smart switch?
Layer 3 managed indicates the switch operates at the network layer of the OSI model, enabling it to perform basic IP routing functions between VLANs. This allows for inter-VLAN routing without requiring a separate router, improving network efficiency and segmentation. Combined with the Web Smart management interface, it provides control over VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), static routing, and access controls through an intuitive browser-based setup.
Is this switch rack-mountable, and what are its physical dimensions?
Yes, the TPE-1620WSF is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting and occupies 1U of vertical rack space (1.74 inches in height). Its chassis dimensions are 17.30 inches wide by 9.80 inches deep, and it weighs approximately 8.50 pounds. A rack mount kit is included in the package for straightforward installation in server racks or network cabinets.
What is the power consumption of the switch, and what type of power supply does it use?
The switch has a maximum power consumption of 460 watts and is powered by an internal integrated power supply. This consumption figure accounts for the switch's own operation plus the power delivered to PoE devices. The unit connects to a standard AC power outlet using the included 6-foot power cord.
What warranty and compliance certifications apply to the TPE-1620WSF?
TRENDnet backs this switch with a lifetime limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's life. It is also TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for procurement by U.S. and Canadian government agencies and their contractors under specific regulations. The switch is manufactured in Taiwan.
