TRENDnet TPE-TG327: 7-Port Multi-Gig PoE+ Switch

Meet the TRENDnet TPE-TG327, a compact yet powerful 7-port switch designed to simplify and accelerate modern PoE deployments. With a thoughtful mix of five 1 Gigabit PoE+ (RJ-45) ports and two 2.5 Gigabit PoE+ (RJ-45) ports, this switch brings multi-gig performance to existing Ethernet cabling—perfect for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices. Its wall-mountable form factor keeps workspaces tidy and scalable, so you can expand your network without sacrificing precious room or airflow. Built for reliability and peace of mind, the TPE-TG327 carries TRENDnet’s Lifetime Protection, ensuring a long service life for small businesses, home offices, or branch locations. With 20Gbps switching capacity, you get ample headroom to handle security cameras, high-bandwidth APs, and file servers, all while maintaining low latency and smooth traffic flow across your network. This switch is designed for plug-and-play operation, letting you deploy your devices quickly and confidently, even in environments with growing bandwidth demands.

• 7-Port Multi-Gig PoE+ design combines five 1G PoE+ ports with two 2.5GBASE-T PoE+ ports, delivering power and data to a diverse lineup of devices—IP cameras, high-speed APs, and multi-gig NICs—without separate power injectors.
• Two 2.5GBASE-T PoE+ ports enable multigigabit uplinks and client connections over existing Cat5e or better cabling, supporting speeds up to 2.5Gbps for faster file transfers, quicker camera feeds, and improved network responsiveness.
• 20Gbps switching capacity provides ample bandwidth for concurrent streams, cameras, and clients, ensuring non-blocking performance and low-latency data forwarding across all active ports.
• Wall-mountable, compact design optimizes space in closets, racks, or under desks, making it ideal for small offices, retail fronts, or edge deployments where reliability and tidy cabling matter.
• Lifetime Protection and a straightforward, unmanaged setup offer reliable power delivery and easy operation—IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ compatibility on all PoE-capable ports, plus clear LED indicators for quick status checks.

How to install TRENDnet TPE-TG327

• Plan placement: Choose a location close to your PoE devices and a power source. Because this switch is wall-mountable, you can tuck it into a closet, behind a monitor, or under a desk to keep cables organized.
• Connect PoE devices: Use CAT5e or better Ethernet cables to connect PoE-enabled devices (such as cameras, access points, or IP phones) to the PoE+ ports. The PoE+ ports will simultaneously deliver power and data, simplifying installation and reducing the need for separate power supplies.
• Link to the network: Use one of the available non-PoE or PoE+ ports to connect the switch to your router or upstream switch. This uplink provides access to the wider network and Internet connectivity for connected devices.
• Power up:Plug the included power adapter into the switch and an electrical outlet. Once powered, the LEDs on each port will indicate link status and PoE activity, so you can verify correct connections at a glance.
• Final checks: Power on all PoE devices and verify operation. If a device does not power on or register a link, reseat the cable, check the switch port LED, and confirm the device supports the required PoE standard. Since this is an unmanaged switch, no configuration is required beyond physically connecting devices.
