Product Features
Technical Overview
The TPE-TG51g operates as an unmanaged Layer 2 switch with five 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, four of which provide PoE+ power per IEEE 802.3af (15.4W per port) and IEEE 802.3at (30W per port) standards. The switch supports a 60W total PoE budget, allowing simultaneous power delivery to multiple devices while maintaining a 64.30W power consumption from the included 55V DC, 1.3A adapter.
Network performance is driven by a non-blocking switching architecture with 10Gbps aggregate throughput, auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX on all ports, and compliance with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x, and 802.3p standards for reliable Gigabit Ethernet operation. The integrated DIP switch enables port-based VLAN isolation to segment traffic and basic QoS to prioritize voice or video traffic across connected devices.

User Manual
FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have, and what is the total PoE budget?
The TRENDnet TPE-TG51g includes four Gigabit PoE+ ports that support IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30W per port. The total PoE budget is 60W, allowing simultaneous power to multiple devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without exceeding the switch's capacity.
What is the switching capacity and layer support of this switch?
This switch offers a 10Gbps non-blocking switching capacity, ensuring full Gigabit throughput across all five ports. It operates at Layer 2, providing basic switching functions such as MAC address learning and forwarding, with support for IEEE 802.3 standards including 802.3af/at for PoE, 802.3u for Fast Ethernet, and 802.3ab for Gigabit Ethernet.
Can this switch be wall-mounted, and what are its dimensions?
Yes, the TPE-TG51g is designed for wall mounting with a compact form factor.
