TRENDnet TEG-S381 8-Port 2.5G Fanless Switch
Eight multi-gigabit connections without a cooling fan
The TRENDnet TEG-S381 adds eight 2.5G RJ45 connections to a small office or home network. Its unmanaged design needs no web configuration, while a compact metal enclosure and fanless cooling suit desktop or wall placement. It includes the external power adapter and supports suitable existing Cat5e or better cabling.
What's in the Box
- TEG-S381 switch and external 12 V DC 1 A power adapter.
- Ethernet cables and connected devices are separate. Mounting hardware is not confirmed in the listed package contents.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect compatible 2.5G devices with suitable Cat5e or better Ethernet cabling.
- Use the same RJ45 ports with supported 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps devices at their available speed.
- Add wired ports without configuring a management interface.
- Place on a suitable surface or mount appropriately on a wall, leaving ventilation around the metal housing.
What Will Not Work
- No PoE output: connected devices need their own power unless supplied elsewhere.
- No managed VLAN configuration, web console or wireless access point function.
- No SFP cage or dedicated 10G uplink.
- Eight ports include any link to the router or another switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
The practical upgrade is moving compatible local links beyond 1G. Check the PC or NAS adapter and storage performance as well as cabling. If one port connects to a router, plan seven remaining device connections. Choose a managed or PoE model when those specific functions are required.
