GaN Power Technology Reduces Overall Carbon Footprint While Delivering Power More Efficiently

ISC WEST 2025, LAS VEGAS & TORRANCE, Calif.– April. 2, 2025 – TRENDnet® (www.TRENDnet.com), a global leader and award-winning provider of reliable networking, surveillance, transportation, and power solutions, is announcing today that it has launched PoE++ switches featuring GaN power technology. GaN (gallium-nitride) technology delivers power with increased efficiency with a smaller carbon footprint.

 

TRENDnet’s first two network switches featuring GaN power technology are the 6-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch with 10G SFP+ Ports (TPE-BG5062), and the 9-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch with 10G SFP+ Port (TPE-BG5091). Both switches feature high-efficiency GaN internal power supplies, and deliver up to 95 watts of PoE power per port, ideal for power hungry PoE devices, such as advanced security cameras, high-power access points, digital signage, and access controls.

GaN power technology enables power devices to support better power density, downsizing, thermal capability, and energy conversion efficiency. The result is smaller form factor power supplies with more efficient power delivery. A GaN power supply has up to a 40 percent less footprint compared to traditional power supplies. The increased power efficiency also helps to reduce heat generated by an internal power supply, reducing or eliminating the need for cooling fans.

“GaN power devices offer great dielectric strength, switching speed, current density, and operating temperature, while reducing on-resistance. High-speed switching can often produce considerable EMI, but with GaN technology, EMI is lowered due to reduced voltage usage and current overshoot,” said Evan Davis, senior manager of solutions engineering at TRENDnet. “Ultimately, GaN technology enables us to design and produce smaller PoE switches with a higher power output, but that run much cooler than previous models.”

Both of TRENDnet’s GaN power PoE++ switches feature 2.5G PoE++ ports, which are compatible with existing Cat5e or better cabling, and 10G SFP+ ports for ultra-fast connection speeds and long-distance fiber applications. These switches are also backwards compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps network devices. The sturdy metal housing is both rugged and lightweight, and both switches support over current and short circuit protection.

TRENDnet’s 6-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch with 10G SFP+ Ports (TPE-BG5062), and the 9-Port 2.5G GaN Power PoE++ Switch with 10G SFP+ Port (TPE-BG5091) are available now. They can be purchased online on the TRENDnet Store, and worldwide through authorized distributors, resellers, and retail partners. Visit TRENDnet at ISC West 2025 at Booth #12115 for a hand-on look at these new GaN switches and more.
