Unmanaged Switch Trendnet TEG-S3160 16 Ports 2.5G Ethernet Desktop Black

The TRENDnet TEG-S3160 is an unmanaged 16-port 2.5G Ethernet desktop switch designed to increase network throughput using existing Cat5e or better cabling. Housed in a sturdy metal enclosure, this fanless switch supports rear-facing ports, wall mounting and 19” 1U rack installation with the included mounting kit. With a switching capacity of 80 Gbps and a MAC address table of 16,000 entries, the switch delivers multi-gigabit connectivity for home and small office environments without configuration.

Advantages

This 16-port 2.5G switch provides up to 2.5 Gbps per port over Cat5e or higher cabling and offers a compact, durable metal housing that can be mounted on a wall or installed in a 19” rack. The fanless design reduces power consumption and eliminates operational noise, while rear-facing ports help hide cable clutter. Built-in LED indicators show port status, and support for Jumbo Frames (up to 12 KB) improves performance for large-packet traffic.

Suitable for

• Home networks requiring higher throughput for multiple devices

Power the unit with the included AC/DC power supply and verify link/activity using the front LED indicators.

Recommendations

For best multi-gig performance, use Cat5e or higher cabling and connect multi-gig capable devices. Place the fanless metal switch in a well-ventilated area free of excessive dust. If mounted in a rack, ensure adequate spacing for airflow and cable management to keep rear-facing ports accessible.
