What is GaN power technology?
GaN power technology, or gallium-nitride technology, is designed to deliver power more efficiently while reducing the overall carbon footprint. It allows for better power density, downsizing, thermal capability, and energy conversion efficiency. This results in smaller power supplies that provide efficient power delivery, with a footprint up to 40% less than traditional power supplies.
What are the key features of TRENDnet's GaN Ethernet switches?
TRENDnet's GaN Ethernet switches include the 6-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch and the 9-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch. Both models feature high-efficiency GaN internal power supplies, delivering up to 95 watts of PoE power per port. They are compatible with existing Cat5e cabling, have 10G SFP+ ports for fast connections, and are designed with a rugged yet lightweight metal housing. Additionally, they support over current and short circuit protection.
Where can I purchase TRENDnet's GaN Ethernet switches?
TRENDnet's GaN Ethernet switches are available for purchase online at the TRENDnet Store and through authorized distributors, resellers, and retail partners worldwide. You can also visit TRENDnet at ISC West 2025 for a hands-on look at these new switches.
