Trendnet TI-PG162 Hardened 16-port Poe+ Managed Switch

Product Description

The TRENDNET TI-PG162 is a hardened industrial managed network switch built for demanding environments where standard commercial equipment cannot operate reliably. It provides 14 PoE+ ports and 2 SFP fiber uplink slots in a single unit, with a total PoE power budget of 240 watts. The hardened enclosure is designed to withstand wide temperature ranges, vibration, and electrical noise common in industrial, utility, and heavy commercial installations. Network engineers and industrial IT technicians deploy this switch in factory floors, transportation hubs, outdoor enclosures, and similar harsh-environment applications.

The TI-PG162 is suited for industrial Ethernet deployments requiring Power over Ethernet delivery to IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other powered devices alongside fiber uplink connectivity. The 2 SFP slots support fiber connections for long-distance or noise-immune backbone links. The 240-watt power budget supports multiple simultaneous PoE+ devices without requiring a separate power injector infrastructure. This switch fits industrial control rooms, surveillance systems, and outdoor or semi-outdoor network cabinets where a hardened form factor is required.

Key Features

• 14 PoE+ ports delivering up to 240 watts total power budget
• 2 SFP slots for fiber or long-distance uplink connections
• Hardened enclosure rated for industrial temperature and environmental conditions
• Managed switch functionality for VLAN, QoS, and network segmentation control
• Single-unit solution eliminating the need for separate PoE injectors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial managed PoE+ switch compatible with standard IEEE 802.3at PoE+ powered devices including IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP endpoints via RJ45, with SFP slots accepting standard small form-factor fiber or copper transceiver modules.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network engineer or licensed low-voltage technician familiar with industrial Ethernet deployments. Power down the switch and all connected devices before making or changing physical connections. Ensure the mounting enclosure or cabinet provides adequate ventilation and environmental protection appropriate to the installation site. Consult applicable local electrical codes and the manufacturer documentation for grounding requirements before energizing the unit.
