Sixteen2.5GbE connections with four10G SFP+ uplinks
16×2.5G RJ45 +4×10G SFP+Unmanaged plug-and-playFanless metal housing19-inch1U rack kit
The TRENDnet TEG-S50204 combines sixteen2.5GbE copper ports and four10G SFP+ slots in a fanless unmanaged switch. It provides a straightforward upgrade path for compatible workstations,NAS systems and access points using Cat5e or better cabling,with high-speed SFP+ links for suitable uplinks. Its metal1U enclosure and included rackmount kit suit a19-inch network rack without a management configuration step.
Best For: Offices and workgroups needing multiple2.5GbE endpoints and10G SFP+ connections without configurable switch management.
Before you order: This switch has20ports in total:16RJ45 and4SFP+ slots. Copper ports support up to2.5Gbps;the10Gbps ports are SFP+ slots requiring compatible modules or DAC cables and a matching remote device. Modules,cables and connected equipment are separate. This is not a PoE power source. VLAN/QoS tag passthrough does not provide managed VLAN or QoS configuration.
What's in the Box
- TRENDnet TEG-S50204 V1 switch.
- Rackmount kit and1.5m power cord.
- SFP/SFP+ modules,DAC/fibre cables,Ethernet patch leads and network devices are not listed as included.
What It Means in Practice
- Mount in a suitable19-inch1U rack using the included kit and leave ventilation space around the fanless enclosure.
- Connect the internal power supply to mains using the supplied power cord.
- Use Cat5e or better copper cabling and compatible2.5GbE network interfaces to negotiate2.5Gbps links.
- Select compatible1G/10G SFP modules or10G SFP+ links and verify both ends of each connection.
- Configure VLANs or routing on suitable upstream/downstream equipment if required;this switch passes supported tags through.
What Will Not Work
- There is no web-managed VLAN,routing or link-aggregation configuration advertised for this unmanaged model.
- RJ45 ports do not provide10GBASE-T and do not supply PoE power.
- The160Gbps switching figure is aggregate switching capacity,not the speed of one connection.
- Fanless operation still requires airflow and an ambient temperature within specification.
Key Features
Sixteen multi-gig copper ports
10/100/1000/2500Mbps RJ45 ports serve compatible endpoints and existing slower Ethernet devices.
Four SFP+ connections
1Gbps/10Gbps slots support suitable fibre or direct-attach links with separately selected components.
Quiet installation
A fanless black metal enclosure avoids fan noise and fits a19-inch1U rack.
Simple switching
No switch configuration is required;802.1Q VLAN and802.1p priority tags can pass through the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all20ports2.5GbE RJ45?
No. There are sixteen2.5G copper ports and four1G/10G SFP+ slots.
Can it power an access point over Ethernet?
No PoE output is specified. Power the access point separately or use an appropriate PoE injector/switch.
Are optical modules included?
They are not listed in the package. Select compatible modules or DAC cables separately.
Can I configure isolated VLANs on it?
This unmanaged switch supports tag passthrough,not a configurable VLAN management interface. Use suitable managed equipment for VLAN policy.
Does it need an external12V adapter?
No. The official rear view and QIG show an internal mains supply and AC inlet;the package includes a power cord.
Singular Expert Insight
Plan the uplink before upgrading endpoint ports. Sixteen2.5G devices can benefit from the four10G slots,but end-to-end performance depends on storage,remote switches,network adapters and chosen transceivers. Choose a managed model when access policy or configurable VLANs are part of the requirement.
Buyer’s Guide
✓ Buy it if You need a quiet unmanaged rack switch with sixteen2.5GbE endpoints and four10G SFP+ slots.
✕ Skip it if You need PoE,10GBASE-T copper ports or configurable VLAN/routing functions.
→ Also consider NIC speeds,installed cabling,compatible optics/DAC,rack depth,ventilation and upstream bandwidth.
