Tripp Lite NG5POE-1 5-port Unmanaged Desktop Poe Switch

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE NG5POE-1 is a 5-port unmanaged desktop PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch designed for straightforward network expansion in small commercial and residential installations. It delivers both data connectivity and electrical power over standard Ethernet cabling to connected PoE-compatible devices, eliminating the need for separate power adapters at each endpoint. With no management interface required, setup is plug-and-play, making it a practical choice for electricians and low-voltage network technicians who need a fast, reliable solution without complex configuration overhead.

This switch is suited for desktop or wall-area deployment in environments such as small offices, retail locations, light commercial buildings, and residential smart-home installations. Typical use cases include powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-compatible endpoints from a single compact unit. It ships as an individual unit (sold each) and fits into installations where a compact, unmanaged PoE device is needed without the overhead of a managed switch platform.

Key Features

• 5 ports provide simultaneous data and power delivery to PoE-compatible devices
• Unmanaged operation requires no software configuration or network administration
• Desktop form factor suits space-constrained installations
• Eliminates individual power adapters at each connected endpoint
• Single-unit packaging supports straightforward per-device procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install PoE switch compatible with standard PoE-enabled network devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points that operate over standard Ethernet cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or network technician in accordance with local codes and NEC guidelines for low-voltage cabling. Power down or unplug all connected devices before making or changing port connections. Use rated Cat5e or better Ethernet cabling to ensure reliable PoE power delivery. Do not exceed the unit rated port or total power budget when connecting multiple PoE devices simultaneously.
