The TP-Link SG3428XPP-M2 is an L2+ managed PoE switch from the JetStream and Omada series, designed to handle high-bandwidth demands in professional networks. It features 24 RJ45 ports supporting speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, complemented by four 10 Gbps SFP+ slots for ultra-fast uplinks to servers or other switches. To power your connected devices, it provides a substantial 500 W total budget, with 8 ports supporting the high-power PoE++ standard and 16 ports utilizing PoE+. This device is housed in a grey steel casing and fits standard rack mounts, measuring 440 x 330 x 44 mm. Management is streamlined through the Omada SDN, allowing you to use cloud control and zero-touch provisioning to deploy the switch across multiple sites without needing to be physically present. For network stability and security, it includes static routing, 802.1Q VLANs, and a comprehensive suite of protections like DHCP snooping and ACLs from layer 2 to 4. It is well-suited for businesses deploying high-performance Wi-Fi 6 access points or 4K surveillance cameras that require both high data throughput and significant power. The inclusion of a dual IPv4/IPv6 stack and a MAC address table with 32,768 entries ensures it can manage a large volume of devices efficiently. You can configure the system via the dedicated RJ45 or Micro-USB console ports, making it a flexible hub for a growing corporate infrastructure.
