Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch provides 24 RJ-45 ports that auto-negotiate at 10/100/1000Mbps or 2.5Gbps, offering flexibility for connecting a wide range of devices from legacy equipment to newer 2.5GbE clients. The four 10Gb SFP+ slots provide high-bandwidth uplinks to core switches, servers, or storage, preventing bottlenecks in aggregated traffic.
Comprehensive Layer 2 management features include VLAN support for network segmentation, Link Aggregation Control Protocol for increased bandwidth and redundancy, and IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control. The dual console options—RJ-45 and Micro-USB—provide flexible out-of-band management access for initial setup and troubleshooting.

Key Product Advantages
The Omada integration capability allows for centralized cloud management of multiple switches, access points, and routers from a single interface, streamlining network oversight for IT administrators. Robust quality of service features ensure critical applications like voice and video maintain performance even during peak network usage.
High-Density PoE Power
The 500W total PoE budget and support for both PoE+ (30W per port) and PoE++ (60W per port) standards allow you to power the latest high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, thin clients, and wireless access points directly from the switch, eliminating the need for separate power injectors and outlets.
Future-Proofed Speed Tier
By incorporating 2.5GbE on all copper ports, this switch bridges the gap between standard Gigabit and 10GbE, providing a cost-effective performance boost for newer computers, NAS devices, and workstations without requiring a full infrastructure upgrade to 10GbE copper.
Deployment / Use Cases
The switch is also well-suited for creative studios or engineering departments where workstations require faster-than-Gigabit connectivity to shared network storage. The 2.5GbE ports provide the necessary throughput for large file transfers without the cost premium of 10GbE copper, while the SFP+ uplinks maintain a high-speed connection to the NAS or server.
Medium Business Core/Aggregation
Deploy as a distribution layer switch in a mid-sized office, using the 10Gb SFP+ uplinks to connect to the network core and the 2.5GbE ports to serve departmental switches, servers, and high-performance workstations. The high PoE budget supports a full floor of wireless access points and IP phones.
IP Surveillance & Access Control Backbone
Ideal for security installations, powering a large array of high-resolution, pan-tilt-zoom IP cameras and access control systems directly via PoE++. The managed features allow for creating isolated VLANs for security traffic, ensuring bandwidth priority and network segmentation from corporate data.
Physical Profile
Designed for standard 19-inch rack installation, the switch occupies just 1U of vertical space (1.70" or 43.18 mm). Its dimensions of 17.30" (439.42 mm) wide and 13" (330.20 mm) deep fit common rack depths, and the included rackmount kit facilitates secure mounting. The built-in power supply with universal 120/230V AC input ensures reliable operation in various regions without external adapters.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the total PoE budget of this switch, and how is it allocated?
The TP-LINK SG3428XPP-M2 has a total PoE budget of 500 watts. This power is dynamically allocated across its 24 PoE-capable ports, which consist of 16 ports supporting the PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) standard delivering up to 30W per port and 8 ports supporting the PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) standard capable of delivering up to 60W per port. The switch intelligently manages the budget to power connected devices like access points, cameras, and phones without overloading the power supply.
Can I use this switch to connect fiber optic cables?
Yes, this switch supports fiber optic connections through its four 10 Gigabit SFP+ expansion slots. You can install compatible SFP+ transceiver modules to connect the switch to other network equipment using fiber optic cables for long-distance, high-bandwidth links. The switch itself supports the 10GBase-X network technology standard for these fiber uplinks.
What management features does this L2+ managed switch offer?
As an L2+ managed switch, it offers comprehensive features for network control and optimization. These include VLAN (IEEE 802.1Q) for segmenting network traffic, Link Aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad/LACP) to combine multiple ports for higher bandwidth and redundancy, Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical traffic like voice or video, and IEEE 802.1x for port-based network access control. It also supports a full suite of IEEE standards for spanning tree protocols and multicast filtering.
Is this switch suitable for rack mounting?
Absolutely. The switch is designed for rack mounting with a standard 1U form factor, meaning it occupies one unit of vertical space in a 19-inch equipment rack. Its dimensions are 1.70" (43.18 mm) in height, 17.30" (439.42 mm) in width, and 13" (330.20 mm) in depth. A rackmount kit is included in the package for easy and secure installation, making it ideal for data closets, server rooms, or network operation centers.
What are the speed capabilities of the 24 copper RJ-45 ports?
The 24 RJ-45 copper ports are multi-speed and auto-negotiating. They support standard 10/100/1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) as well as the newer 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GBase-T) standard. This allows the ports to connect to a wide range of devices, from legacy equipment running at Fast Ethernet speeds to modern computers and NAS devices that benefit from the 2.5Gbps throughput, all while using common Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cabling.
How do I initially configure and manage this switch?
The switch offers multiple management interfaces. For initial out-of-band configuration, you can use either the dedicated RJ-45 console port or the Micro-USB console port with a suitable cable connected to a computer. Once an IP address is assigned, you can manage the switch via a web-based graphical interface or command-line interface (CLI) over the network. For larger deployments, it can also be integrated into the TP-LINK Omada SDN platform for centralized cloud management of multiple networking devices.
