TRENDnet TI-TPG80 8-Port M12 Gigabit PoE+ Switch
Overview :
The TRENDnet TI-TPG80 is a hardened, unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet switch engineered for deployment in harsh industrial environments, particularly rolling stock and railway applications. It addresses the need for reliable network connectivity and power for devices like IP cameras and wireless access points in locations subject to extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock. This switch is specifically designed to provide stable Gigabit PoE+ connectivity under challenging operational conditions where standard commercial networking hardware would fail. At its core, the TI-TPG80 features a robust 16Gbps switching fabric and provides a substantial PoE power budget of 200W when supplied with 48V DC power. This allows it to deliver up to 30W of power per port to eight M12 Gigabit PoE+ ports, ensuring sufficient power for demanding connected devices. The use of secure M12 connectors over standard RJ45 ports is a critical design choice, providing a highly reliable, vibration-resistant physical connection essential for transportation and industrial settings. Built for resilience, the switch is housed in a fanless, IP40-rated metal enclosure designed for efficient thermal performance and protection against solid objects. Its EN50155 compliance certifies it for use on trains and other railway vehicles, confirming its resistance to the specific environmental stressors of that sector. Management is straightforward as it is an unmanaged device, and it supports dual redundant power inputs for high availability, with an alarm relay that triggers on power failure to facilitate rapid maintenance response.
