Product Information
Full details
The Trendnet TEG-S708 is an ideal networking solution for IT professionals and power users who require high-bandwidth throughput for data-intensive tasks. This 8-port switch provides 10 Gigabit speeds across all ports, making it perfect for connecting high-speed NAS devices, workstations, or servers to a backbone. One important caveat is that users must utilize Cat6A cabling or higher to ensure the switch can reliably maintain 10Gbps performance across all connections.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the TEG-S708 a managed or unmanaged switch?
The TEG-S708 is an unmanaged, plug-and-play switch, meaning it requires no configuration or software setup.
Can I use standard Cat5e cables with this switch?
While you can technically connect cables, you will likely not achieve reliable 10Gbps speeds; Cat6A or higher is strictly recommended for 10G performance.
Does this switch support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
No, the TEG-S708 is a data-only switch and does not provide power to connected devices.
Can this switch be used on a desktop instead of a rack?
Yes, although it is rack-mountable, the chassis is designed to sit on any flat surface if rack space is unavailable.
Is this switch compliant for government use?
Yes, it is NDAA and TAA compliant, making it suitable for use in US government and institutional projects.
Troubleshooting
Device connected but not reaching 10G speeds
Verify that your cabling is Cat6A or better and ensure both the switch and the connected device support 10GBASE-T.
Intermittent connectivity or link drops
Check all cable connections for damage and ensure they are properly seated; test with a different cable to rule out physical media failure.
Switch feels hot to the touch
Ensure the switch is installed in a ventilated rack and that the intake/exhaust vents are not blocked by other equipment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed 10Gbps throughput on all ports
- Sturdy rack-mountable metal chassis
- Straightforward, configuration-free operation
- Reliable support for Cat6A or better cabling
Cons
- Requires Cat6A or better cabling for optimal 10G performance
- Lacks advanced Layer 3 management features
- Produces heat common with high-performance 10G equipment
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the TEG-S708, simply connect your power source and plug in your 10G-enabled devices using Cat6A or Cat7 Ethernet cables. Ensure that the switch is placed in a well-ventilated area, as the 10G transceiver circuitry generates more heat than standard switches; if rack-mounting, leave at least one rack unit of space above and below for optimal airflow. The unit is fully compatible with standard RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces, but ensure your network interface cards (NICs) are capable of 10GBASE-T operation to realize the full speed of the switch. Periodically dust the chassis and ensure the power cable is firmly seated to prevent intermittent connectivity.
