8-port unmanaged 2.5G PoE+ switch with wall-mount option
TRENDnet’s TPE-TG380 is an 8-port unmanaged switch that brings multi-gigabit 2.5G connectivity to small offices, studios, and digital signage setups. With 8 x 2.5GBASE-T PoE+ ports and a 100 W total PoE budget, it can power several PoE devices while providing faster uplink speeds over existing Cat5e/cat6a cabling. The device is fanless and compact, designed for wall mounting or desktop placement, with a 40 Gbps switching capacity to handle moderate traffic bursts. While it is unmanaged and lacks advanced L2/L3 features, its simplicity and price make it a compelling option for cost-conscious deployments that require higher-than-Gigabit speeds and PoE capabilities in a single box.
