Network Switch Trendnet TI-G102 Gigabit Ethernet

The TRENDnet TI-G102 is a hardened industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch with ten gigabit ports — eight dedicated RJ-45 gigabit ports plus two shared RJ-45/SFP gigabit ports — providing a total switching capacity of 20 Gbps. Housed in an IP30-rated metal enclosure, the TI-G102 is built to operate in industrial environments with high vibration and shock, and a wide operating temperature range of -40° to 75°C. It supports full duplex operation, a MAC address table of 16,000 entries, and a DC input voltage range of 12–56 V for flexible power setups.

Advantages

The TI-G102 delivers gigabit speeds on all ten ports to reduce network bottlenecks and support high-throughput applications. Its IP30 metal housing and extended temperature tolerance make it suitable for harsh industrial conditions. Dual redundant power inputs and an output alarm relay increase operational reliability, while a 20 Gbps switching capacity and support for standard IEEE protocols ensure compatibility with existing Ethernet networks.

Suitable for

• Factory automation networks and industrial control systems
• Outdoor cabinet or machine-mount Ethernet backbones (within enclosure limits)
• Small to medium-sized enterprise network segments requiring hardened equipment
• Environments with wide temperature fluctuations and vibration

How to use

Mount the TI-G102 on DIN-rail or wall as required, connect devices to the RJ-45 gigabit ports and install SFP modules in the shared ports if fiber connections are needed. Provide DC power within the 12–56 V range using the redundant inputs and configure any monitoring or alarm functions according to your management system. The switch operates at wire-speed without additional configuration for basic switching functions; ensure connected devices use compatible Ethernet standards for optimal performance.

Recommendations

Install the switch inside a suitable industrial enclosure if direct exposure to dust, moisture, or severe contaminants is possible. Use the dual power inputs with separate supplies for higher availability, and select appropriate SFP modules compatible with the TI-G102 when deploying fiber links.
