TRENDnet TPE-204US 20-Port Gigabit Web Smart Ultra PoE Switch
8x Ultra PoE 60 W8x PoE+ 30 W4x shared SFP370 W budget
The TRENDnet TPE-204US is a 20-port Gigabit Web Smart PoE switch with eight Ultra PoE ports (IEEE 802.3bt, up to 60 W), eight PoE+ ports (802.3at, up to 30 W), four shared Gigabit RJ45/SFP ports and a 370 W total PoE budget in a 1U rack-mount metal chassis. It suits small and mid-size installations that mix high-power devices — PTZ cameras, Wi-Fi 6 access points, thin clients — with standard PoE phones and cameras.
As a Web Smart switch it adds VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, IGMP snooping, ACLs and even IPv4/IPv6 static routing through a browser interface, without the complexity of a full CLI-managed switch.
What's in the Box
- TRENDnet TPE-204US switch
- Power cord (1.8 m)
- Rack-mount kit
- Quick installation guide
What It Means in Practice
- Per the TRENDnet datasheet, ports 1–8 deliver PoE+ up to 30 W and ports 9–16 deliver Ultra PoE up to 60 W — plug high-power devices into 9–16.
- 370 W total: for example four 60 W PTZ cameras plus eight 15 W cameras or phones.
- The four shared ports can be used as copper or SFP fibre uplinks (one or the other per port).
- PoE scheduling, port priority and PD alive check let you reboot hung cameras automatically and switch off PoE out of hours.
What Will Not Work
- The budget does not cover all 16 PoE ports at maximum power at once.
- The shared ports 17–20 do not supply PoE.
- It is not stackable and has no 10G uplinks.
- SFP modules are not included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ports give 60 W?
According to the TRENDnet datasheet, ports 9–16 are the 802.3bt Ultra PoE ports (up to 60 W); ports 1–8 are PoE+ (30 W).
Does it support 90 W devices?
No — the maximum is 60 W per port. 90 W (802.3bt Type 4) devices need a different switch.
Can I manage it from the cloud?
Management is through the web GUI and SNMP; optional TRENDnet Hive cloud management is a separate paid service.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The TPE-204US is a practical mid-size PoE switch when a few devices need 60 W and the rest need standard PoE, all in one rack unit with useful Web Smart features. Plan the 370 W budget around your heaviest devices first. Compare with our other
network switches.
✓ Buy it if you mix 60 W PTZ cameras or APs with standard PoE devices and want VLANs and QoS without a full CLI.
✕ Skip it if you need 10G uplinks, 90 W ports or stacking.
→ Also consider the TRENDnet TPE-TG240G for 24 standard PoE+ ports unmanaged.
Send us your camera and AP models and we will check the PoE budget and port plan before you order.
