Managed Switch TP-Link TL-SG2428P 28-Port Gigabit Smart PoE

The TP-Link JetStream TL-SG2428P is a managed 1U rack-mountable Gigabit switch with 28 Ethernet ports, including 24 PoE+ ports designed to power devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points. It supports Software Defined Networking (SDN) with centralized cloud management through the Omada platform, enabling unified control of access points, switches and gateways for seamless wired and wireless connectivity in environments like offices, retail, hospitality and education.

Advantages

The switch provides 24 PoE+ ports to deliver power and data over a single cable, a switching capacity of 56 Gbit/s for efficient traffic handling, and support for standard management and security features including IEEE 802.1Q VLANs and 802.1X authentication. A MAC address table of 8000 entries helps maintain stable forwarding, while its managed feature set and rack-mount form factor suit server rooms and network closets.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized office networks
• IP video surveillance systems with multiple PoE cameras
• Wi‑Fi deployments with PoE access points
• Retail and hospitality networks requiring centralized management
