TRENDnet TI-PG102F 10-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Front-Access Switch

Designed for challenging industrial environments, the TRENDnet TI-PG102F delivers reliable, high-performance Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) and flexible fiber connectivity in a compact, front-access, front-panel design. With eight PoE+ ports, two gigabit SFP uplinks, and a robust IP30-rated metal housing, this industrial switch is built to power and network IP cameras, wireless access points, IoT sensors, and other network devices at the edge. Its DIN-rail and magnetic wall-mount options provide versatile installation in equipment racks, control panels, or wall-mounted enclosures, making it ideal for industrial automation, transportation, and surveillance systems where space, security, and durability matter. The TI-PG102F combines a solid 20 Gbps switching backbone with a 240W PoE budget, ensuring reliable data transfer and sufficient power to support growing devices without compromising performance.

• PoE+ power on 8 ports with a generous 240W budget: Simplify deployments by delivering up to 30W per port to IP cameras, access points, and other PoE devices while preserving bandwidth for data traffic. This enables scalable security and wireless coverage without the need for separate power adapters, reducing cable clutter and installation time in industrial facilities.
• High-performance switching and throughput: With a declared 20 Gbps switching capacity and forwarding rate of 14.88 Mpps (64-byte packets), the TI-PG102F handles multi-stream video, real-time telemetry, and sensor data with minimal latency. The combination of PoE+ and SFP uplinks ensures smooth operation of bandwidth-intensive applications in harsh environments while maintaining steady performance under load.
• Flexible fiber connectivity with 2 x Gigabit SFP slots: Use the two SFP ports to create reliable uplinks to core networks, distant basestations, or data centers. SFP flexibility enables you to tailor fiber options (single-mode or multi-mode) to the installation, supporting distances beyond what copper can achieve and improving resilience in harsh or noisy environments.
• Rugged IP30 metal housing with industrial-grade durability: The hardened enclosure is engineered to withstand dust, moisture, and temperature variations typical in factories, warehouses, and outdoor-adjacent enclosures. This rugged design reduces maintenance needs and extends lifecycle in environments with vibration, humidity, and contaminants.
• Versatile mounting options and front-access design: The TI-PG102F ships with both a DIN-rail bracket and a magnetic wall-mount kit, enabling quick installation in racks, control cabinets, or wall-mounted enclosures. The front-access design simplifies management and servicing, allowing administrators to monitor PoE port activity and connectivity without crawling behind devices.

How to install TRENDnet TI-PG102F

• Plan the deployment location to balance distance, cable routing, and power delivery. Select a secure, ventilated area inside a cabinet or enclosure where heat can dissipate effectively.
• Mount the switch using the included DIN-rail bracket for rack installations, or attach the magnetic wall-mount kit for surface or cabinet-door mounting. Ensure mounting surfaces are solid and resist vibration typical of industrial environments.
• Connect PoE devices to the 8 PoE+ ports. Verify that the total PoE consumption does not exceed the 240W budget to avoid power throttling or drops in device performance.
• Connect the 2 x Gigabit SFP ports to your core network or data center uplinks using compatible fiber transceivers and appropriate fiber optic cables. Plan link distances and fiber types (single-mode or multi-mode) according to your network design.
• Power up the switch and verify basic connectivity. Check front-panel indicators for PoE activity, link status, and port utilization to confirm that devices are receiving power and data properly.
• Configure network settings as needed (VLANs, QoS, PoE scheduling, and security policies) through the management interface or integrated front-panel tools, if applicable. Document port assignments and uplink configurations for future maintenance.
• Regularly inspect the enclosure for dust buildup or heat buildup in high-traffic deployments. Maintain clean ventilation paths and ensure cables remain organized to preserve performance and reliability.
