TRENDnet TPE-TG182F 18-Port Gigabit High Power PoE+ Switch, 16 PoE+ Ports, 240W Budget, 2 Uplinks, Rackmount

Power and connect a full surveillance system or a dense cluster of IP phones with the TRENDnet TPE-TG182F, an 18-port Gigabit switch that delivers both data and electricity over a single cable. In a small office, a retail back room, or a school hallway, this switch can drive up to sixteen PoE+ devices—such as 4K cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP handsets—while two additional Gigabit ports link to the rest of the network or to an NVR. With a total power budget of 240 watts, it handles high-power devices without extra injectors, and the fanless metal housing keeps operation silent for open workspaces.

Why choose it

The TPE-TG182F simplifies deployment of power-hungry network devices. Its 240 W budget comfortably supports multiple PoE+ endpoints, and the two extra Gigabit ports provide flexible uplinks or connections to non-PoE equipment. Because it is unmanaged, you can install it in minutes—just connect your devices and power it on. The fanless design means zero noise, making it suitable for offices, classrooms, or any environment where quiet operation matters. The sturdy metal case fits standard 19-inch racks or can sit on a desktop.

Ideal use cases

• IP surveillance systems with up to 16 PoE cameras and an NVR
• VoIP phone deployments in small to medium businesses
• Wireless access point expansion in offices or retail spaces
• Connecting PoE-powered sensors, access control, or digital signage
• Network edge aggregation where a simple, reliable switch is needed

Good to know

The switch complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3x, 802.3af, and 802.3at standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. It automatically detects PoE devices and supplies the required power, protecting non-PoE equipment. The internal power supply accepts standard AC input, and the metal housing provides durability for long-term use. No software or drivers are required—true plug-and-play operation.
