TP-Link TL-SG3428MP JetStream 28-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed PoE+ Switch – 384W, 24 PoE+ Ports, 4 SFP Slots & Omada SDN

TP-Link TL-SG3428MP JetStream Gigabit Managed PoE+ Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG3428MP is a professional Layer 2+ managed switch developed for offices, hotels, schools, retail sites, and expanding CCTV systems. It combines twenty-four Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet ports with four dedicated SFP slots, delivering wired connectivity, power distribution, and fiber uplink flexibility. Advanced VLAN, security, and Omada management functions help network administrators organize connected devices while supporting business growth.

Twenty-Four Gigabit PoE+ Ports

All twenty-four RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet and IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet. Each port can deliver up to 30W to compatible devices, while the total shared PoE power budget is 384W. Cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones must stay within both limits. Twenty-four devices cannot simultaneously draw 30W each. Plan around maximum demand, including infrared illumination, startup loads, and accessories, rather than ordinary power consumption.

Four Dedicated Gigabit SFP Slots

Four independent Gigabit SFP interfaces allow connections to compatible optical transceivers for fiber uplinks between switches, floors, or equipment rooms. Unlike combo interfaces, these slots do not replace the twenty-four copper connections. Select fiber type, optical wavelength, connector, and transmission distance according to both endpoints. The slots operate at Gigabit speed, not 10Gbps SFP+, and do not deliver PoE power.

Efficient Switching Performance

The TL-SG3428MP offers 56Gbps switching capacity and a manufacturer-rated forwarding rate of 41.66 million packets per second. Store-and-forward switching, traffic controls, and a hardware-dependent MAC address table support orderly data movement. Actual network throughput depends on connected equipment, cable quality, configuration, and traffic patterns. Use suitable Cat5e or better copper cables for Gigabit links and verify that uplink bandwidth meets surveillance recording needs.

Omada Centralized Management

Integration with compatible Omada controllers enables centralized configuration, device monitoring, and coordinated administration alongside supported gateways and access points. Cloud access can help teams supervise multiple sites without visiting each location. Standalone options include a web interface, command-line administration, and SNMP. Controller features depend on hardware version; notably, V3 does not support the Omada Cloud-Based Controller or its Zero-Touch Provisioning capability. Confirm compatibility before selecting a management platform.

VLAN, Routing, and Security

IEEE 802.1Q VLANs help separate guest, staff, and surveillance traffic into distinct logical networks. Static routing supports selected connections between internal subnets, while Access Control Lists, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X authentication, port security, and IP-MAC-Port Binding offer additional safeguards. Configure these carefully and maintain strong credentials. The switch is not a substitute for an internet firewall, dedicated router, or endpoint protection.

QoS and Network Resilience

Quality of Service rules can prioritize sensitive applications such as voice calls and camera streams during congestion. IGMP Snooping improves multicast delivery, while LACP link aggregation, STP/RSTP/MSTP, storm control, and port monitoring support structured installations. Use these functions with a documented network plan to reduce configuration mistakes and simplify future troubleshooting.

Rackmount Installation and Cooling

The metal chassis measures approximately 440 × 330 × 44mm and uses two internal cooling fans. Its built-in 100–240V AC power supply suits compatible rack installations. Leave ventilation space, organize cabling, and verify total PoE demand before connecting equipment. Record port assignments and back up configurations after testing network operation. A clear installation plan helps prevent overloaded PoE connections, avoids unnecessary downtime, and makes ongoing maintenance more predictable for technical teams.

Buy TP-Link TL-SG3428MP in Pakistan

For businesses requiring numerous powered Gigabit ports, fiber connectivity, and advanced management, the TL-SG3428MP offers practical flexibility. Before ordering from Smartlinks Pakistan, confirm stock, hardware revision, controller support, supplied accessories, warranty, and connected devices’ power requirements. The newer SG3428MP is a distinct model, so verify specifications rather than assuming every feature is identical.
