Small Office Networking
Deploy in office environments to connect and power wireless access points, IP phones, and workstations while implementing VLANs to separate departmental traffic.
Retail & Hospitality
Install behind counters or in ceiling spaces to power point-of-sale terminals, digital signage, and guest Wi-Fi access points with minimal footprint and noise.
Physical Profile
Measuring 6.69 inches wide by 4.13 inches deep by 1.10 inches high, the TPE-B541 occupies minimal space while providing full switching functionality. The compact metal chassis supports wall-mount installation with included hardware, allowing flexible placement in space-constrained environments. At approximately 15.87 ounces, the switch is lightweight yet durable enough for various deployment scenarios.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.10" (28 mm), 6.69" (170 mm), 4.13" (105 mm), 15.87 oz (450 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
