Switch administrable Trendnet TI-G160i

The TRENDnet TI-G160i is a managed Layer 2 industrial Gigabit switch with sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports and a 32 Gbps switching capacity. Housed in an IP30-rated metal enclosure, the switch is designed for industrial deployments with wide operating temperature support (-40 to 75° C) and resistance to shock, freefall and vibration. It supports a MAC address table of 8000 entries and a variety of IEEE networking standards to enable flexible network integration and monitoring.

Advantages

The TI-G160i combines industrial-grade construction with managed L2 features such as 802.1Q VLAN, IGMP snooping, 802.3ad link aggregation, QoS and RMON for traffic control and diagnostics. Redundant power inputs, an alarm relay for power failure notification, DIN-rail mounting and jumbo frame support (up to 10 KB) make the switch suitable for robust, continuously operating networks. SNMP, SNMP Trap and port mirroring simplify remote monitoring and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation networks requiring DIN-rail mounting
• SMB and enterprise edge deployments that need managed L2 features
• Environments with extreme temperatures or high vibration
• Applications needing redundant power and alarm notification

How to use

Mount the TI-G160i on a DIN rail using the included bracket and connect DC power to the redundant power inputs (use a compatible power supply such as TRENDnet TI-M6024 sold separately). Connect network devices to the 16 Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Configure managed features via the switch management interface or SNMP: set VLANs (802.1Q), IGMP snooping, link aggregation (802.3ad), QoS and ACLs according to network design. Enable RMON, SNMP trap or port mirroring for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

Ensure the switch is properly grounded and use the redundant power inputs for continuous operation. Keep firmware up to date and configure VLANs, QoS and access control (802.1X, RADIUS if required) to secure and optimize traffic in industrial or SMB networks.
