• 10-port versatility with 8 M12 X-code Gigabit PoE+ ports and 2 M12 X-code Gigabit ports with bypass: Connect and power cameras, IP phones, sensors, and other PoE devices directly at the network edge while preserving reliable uplinks to the core network, even in the event of power disturbances. The PoE+ capability adheres to IEEE 802.3at standards, enabling higher-wattage devices to run off a single switch while keeping cabling simple and cost-effective for rail installations.
• Dedicated 1 x M12 A-code power port and robust power management: A compact, field-ready power input supports single-cable operation and simplifies integration into tight electrical cabinets. The TI-XPG102’s intelligent power handling reduces voltage drop, improves PoE budgeting, and ensures steady performance for edge devices across rail cars and stations, so video surveillance and telemetry stay online when it matters most.
• Rugged, EN 50155-compliant, IP40 enclosure built for harsh environments: Engineered to endure dust, vibration, and temperature extremes typical of railway environments, this switch maintains stable operation in rolling stock, switches cabinets, and outdoor enclosures. NDAA and TAA compliance adds to its legitimacy for public-sector deployments, while a black, compact form factor helps it blend into control panels and equipment racks without taking up valuable space.
• Versatile mounting with DIN-rail and wall-mount support and grounding point: The TI-XPG102 is designed for flexible installation in various rail-related enclosures, including DIN-rail tracks and wall-mount enclosures. The built-in grounding point enhances electrical safety and helps mitigate EMI, ensuring dependable network performance in noisy electrical environments common to railway systems.
• Lifetime protection and TRENDnet reliability for long-term rail deployments: TRENDnet’s Lifetime Protection ensures you receive ongoing quality support and coverage, a critical consideration for mission-critical rail infrastructure and ongoing maintenance programs. The TI-XPG102 is designed for long service life in demanding settings, delivering a lower total cost of ownership and predictable performance across years of operation.

how to install TRENDnet TI-XPG102

• Plan your rack or cabinet layout to accommodate DIN-rail or wall mounting. Secure the TI-XPG102 to the selected mounting surface using appropriate hardware and ensure the unit is level and stable before powering.
• Connect the M12 A-code power port to your DC power source as specified in the installation manual. Ensure power is steady and within the supported range to promote reliable startup and operation of PoE and non-PoE ports.
• Connect PoE devices to the 8 x M12 PoE+ ports. Use Ethernet cabling that meets your rail environment requirements (shielded cables where necessary) to minimize EMI and ensure robust data and power delivery to cameras, sensors, or wireless access points.
• Utilize the 2 x M12 ports with bypass for uplink connections to your core network. This bypass feature helps maintain network continuity if the switch loses power or needs to be reset, a critical consideration for rail control rooms and trackside networks.
• Ground the device using the dedicated grounding point and route cables to minimize interference and mechanical stress. Verify all connections, apply secure cable management, and test connectivity across PoE devices and uplinks to confirm stable operation before commissioning the system.
