Switch TRENDnet TPE-BG5091 9-Port 2.5G PoE++ with 10G SFP+ uplink

The TRENDnet TPE-BG5091 9-Port 2.5G PoE++ with 10G SFP+ uplink is a compact managed switch designed to extend higher-than-Gigabit connectivity and deliver power over Ethernet to powered devices. It features eight 2.5G Ethernet ports that support PoE++ power delivery and one dedicated 10G SFP+ uplink for integration with high-capacity aggregation or backbone links. This switch is intended for network edges where increased throughput and PoE++ capability are required for devices such as high-resolution IP cameras and wireless access points.

Advantages

The switch provides multi-gigabit 2.5G port speeds on eight access ports while consolidating power delivery through PoE++ to compatible devices, reducing the need for separate power sources. A dedicated 10G SFP+ uplink enables direct connection to 10G-capable switches or fiber networks for higher uplink bandwidth. The unit’s compact port layout simplifies installation at wiring closets or on-site racks where space and power delivery are considerations.

Suitable for

• Edge deployment with multi-gigabit access needs
• Powering PoE++ cameras and high-performance wireless access points
• Small office or branch networks requiring a 10G uplink
• Environments that need increased throughput for multiple connected devices

Key specifications

• Number of access ports: 8 ports with 2.5G Ethernet speed
• PoE capability: PoE++ support on powered ports
• Uplink: 1 dedicated 10G SFP+ port for fiber or 10G transceivers
• Form factor: compact 9-port switch suitable for wiring closets and small racks

How to use

Install the TRENDnet TPE-BG5091 in a suitable network location and connect edge devices to the eight 2.5G ports to provide both data and PoE++ power where supported. Connect the 10G SFP+ uplink to a compatible 10G switch or media converter using an appropriate SFP+ transceiver and fiber or DAC cable to integrate with the wider network. Configure required network settings (VLANs, QoS, and PoE management) through the device’s management interface according to your network design and power budget requirements.

Usage recommendations

For stable operation, verify PoE power budget and device power class before connecting multiple PoE++ devices; use compatible SFP+ modules and properly rated cabling for the 10G uplink to achieve expected throughput.
