TRENDnet Web Smart TPE-3524SF Ethernet Switch

Introducing the TRENDnet Web Smart TPE-3524SF Ethernet Switch, a high-density PoE+ managed switch built for growing networks in small to medium-sized businesses. With 48 PoE+ RJ-45 ports and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, it delivers ample power and fast interconnects for IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and edge servers. The Web Smart management interface makes it easy to configure VLANs, QoS, PoE policies, and security settings through a user-friendly browser-based experience, while a robust 740W total PoE budget provides headroom for powering multiple devices simultaneously. Rack-mountable in a standard 19-inch rack, this switch fits neatly into data centers and office racks, offering reliable operation with clear LED indicators and a reset button for quick recovery. Whether you're deploying surveillance, collaboration tools, or a hybrid cloud environment, the TPE-3524SF combines scalable performance with straightforward administration to keep networks running smoothly.

• High-density PoE+ ports paired with high-speed uplinks deliver scalable power and bandwidth for modern networks. The TPE-3524SF provides 48 PoE+ RJ-45 ports (IEEE 802.3at compatible) that can power a wide range of devices—IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless APs, and IoT gateways—without adding separate power bricks. The 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks offer flexible, fiber-based or direct copper connections to your core network, enabling rapid backhaul and seamless aggregation. With a 176 Gbps switching capacity, the switch maintains low latency and no-compromise performance even as you expand device counts and traffic. This density makes it ideal for small data centers, campus edges, and busy office floors where devices are spread across many rooms. The Web Smart interface simplifies management of port-level power, enabling administrators to set per-port PoE budgets and schedules to align with energy-saving goals while ensuring essential devices stay powered during peak hours.
• Power over Ethernet at scale with a 740W total budget allows you to deploy a sizeable fleet of PoE devices without worrying about separate power drops. Each PoE+ port can deliver up to the required wattage for cameras, phones, and access points, while the centralized budget lets IT teams balance energy use and cost. The PoE scheduling features, available in the Web Smart GUI, enable on-demand powering of devices during business hours, auto-shutoff for unused devices, and energy-efficient operation during downtime. This capability is especially valuable for surveillance deployments with many cameras, or for hospitality and retail networks where APs and IP devices must be deployed quickly and reliably. The robust power management also supports remote reboot of devices for troubleshooting, reducing the need for on-site service calls. In addition, the 740W budget helps future-proof the network as you add devices over time.
• Web Smart management for practical, enterprise-grade control without complexity. The TRENDnet TPE-3524SF offers a browser-based GUI that makes configuring VLANs, QoS, and security straightforward, even for growing IT teams. Create multiple VLANs to segment traffic by department, device type, or function, while protected access minimizes broadcast domains and improves performance. Implement QoS rules to prioritize latency-sensitive data such as VoIP and video conferencing, ensuring clear calls and smooth streaming even during busy periods. The switch also supports basic security features like port security, MAC filtering, and access control lists (ACLs) via the Web Smart interface, helping to guard against unauthorized devices. For monitoring, dashboards display real-time port activity, PoE usage, and uplink status, and you can export logs for auditing or troubleshooting. With 4x 10G SFP+ uplinks, bandwidth-intensive workloads stay responsive as the network scales.
• Performance you can rely on in a compact form factor. At 176 Gbps of switching capacity, the Web Smart TPE-3524SF handles mixed traffic with ease, keeping latency low for critical applications while maintaining high throughput for streaming and data transfers. Its 1U rack-friendly chassis fits neatly into network closets or data center racks, reducing footprint while delivering enterprise-grade switching for SMBs. The combination of 48 PoE+ ports and 4x10G SFP+ uplinks helps centralize powering and connectivity, reducing the need for separate switches and simplifying management. The LED indicators provide quick, visual status at a glance—link/activity, PoE on/off, and power status—so administrators can diagnose issues without complex tools. With reliable power delivery and robust management, this switch is well-suited for surveillance-heavy environments, multi-AP deployments, and edge data centers where dependable operation matters most.
• Flexible deployment, easy integration with existing networks, and future-ready features. The TRENDnet TPE-3524SF is designed for versatile installation scenarios, from small offices to mid-sized campuses. The 48 PoE+ ports can be used to unify power and data delivery for cameras, phones, and wireless infrastructure, while the 4x10G SFP+ uplinks extend connectivity into the core network or to a storage server cluster. The switch supports standard Ethernet and PoE+ standards, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of devices. In addition, its rugged chassis, rack-mount rails, and accessible management tools simplify expansion and maintenance. When paired with TRENDnet's firmware updates and remote management options, you gain a scalable, future-proof solution that can accommodate growing endpoints, evolving security requirements, and increasing bandwidth demands.
