Trendnet TPE-BG350: meet the budget switch with 2.5 Gbps and PoE++ 135W

The rise in security cameras, Wi-Fi hotspots and data volumes is forcing companies to rethink their network infrastructure. To avoid costly in-wall cabling, Trendnet has introduced the TPE-BG350, a compact 5-port switch that combines high data speeds with power-over-the-network technology.

What is Trendnet TPE-BG350

The TPE-BG350 is a desktop network switch designed to solve bottlenecks in office and home networks. The device allows you to migrate to the multi-gigabit standard using existing Cat5e cables, which greatly simplifies the process of network upgrades.

The technical characteristics of the new product provide the necessary power reserve for operating multiple active devices simultaneously: the switching capacity of the device is 25 Gbps.

Key characteristics and capabilities

• 5 RJ45 ports supporting data transfer up to 2.5 Gbps (IEEE 802.3bz standard).
• Four ports supporting the powerful PoE++ standard (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt).
• The total PoE budget is 135 W, and up to 95 W of power can be supplied per port.
• Case dimensions: 6.3 x 4.3 x 1.0 inches.

Operation features and price

The switch is made in a durable metal case with a passive cooling system, thanks to which it operates absolutely silently. Available for desktop and wall mounting. For professional needs, support for 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p QoS is implemented. The current price of the device is approximately 6200 UAH ($149.99).

Who needs Trendnet TPE-BG350

This model is an excellent choice for those who need to power high-power PTZ cameras or digital signage systems without installing separate power lines. The ability to operate at 2.5 Gbps speeds over regular Cat5e cable makes the purchase economically feasible for small businesses.
