TRENDnet TPE-P521ES

5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Powered EdgeSmart PoE Pass Through 18W Ethernet Switch

The TRENDnet TPE-P521ES is a unique and compact 5-Port Gigabit PoE+ Powered EdgeSmart PoE Pass Through Ethernet Switch. This innovative switch is powered by a PoE+ input from an upstream device, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter. It then provides PoE power to up to four connected devices, making it an ideal solution for extending a network to hard-to-reach locations where a power outlet may not be available. It is perfect for deploying IP cameras, access points, or other PoE-powered devices in remote areas within a building. The 18W PoE power budget is sufficient for powering a variety of small-to-medium-sized devices.

As a genuine TRENDnet product, this switch ensures guaranteed compatibility and optimal performance. The EdgeSmart management features offer a simple web-based interface for configuration, providing more control than a standard unmanaged switch.

Features :

This switch is engineered with a powerful and convenient design. It receives power from a single PoE+ input port, which then powers the switch itself and provides a PoE pass-through to four other ports. This pass-through functionality is particularly useful for daisy-chaining devices or extending a network without running additional power cables. The TPE-P521ES also features a fanless design, which ensures silent operation, making it suitable for quiet environments. The compact and lightweight housing allows for flexible installation, and its metal construction provides durability and helps with heat dissipation.

Advanced Options :

The TRENDnet TPE-P521ES is more than a simple passthrough device. Its EdgeSmart management capabilities allow for basic network control, including VLANs, QoS (Quality of Service), and port mirroring. These features enable network administrators to segment the network for enhanced security, prioritize traffic for critical applications, and monitor network performance. The switch's advanced features and unique power-sourcing method make it a versatile and dependable component for building a flexible and scalable network infrastructure, especially in constrained environments.
