With a generous 250W PoE budget, Gigabit uplinks including SFP combo options, and seamless integration into the Omada cloud platform, it delivers centralized management, intelligent monitoring, and zero-touch provisioning—ideal for small-to-medium businesses seeking scalable, secure networks without the complexity of full enterprise gear, all in a reliable 1U rack-mountable chassis.
Key Features
Advanced L2+ Features for Network Segmentation and Efficiency
Supports 802.1Q VLAN (up to 4K groups) for traffic isolation, GVRP for dynamic VLAN propagation, STP/RSTP/MSTP for loop prevention with fast convergence, and LACP/802.3ad link aggregation (up to 8 groups) to combine ports for doubled bandwidth and redundancy
24 × 10/100Mbps PoE+ Ports with 250W Budget
IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant ports deliver up to 30W per port (with total power of 250W), enabling reliable powering of high-demand devices like 4K IP cameras, wireless APs, and VoIP handsets; includes PoE priority for critical devices and intelligent power management to prevent overloads and optimize energy use across the network
4 × Gigabit Uplinks (2 × RJ45 + 2 × SFP Combo)
Provides high-speed backbone connections with 2 dedicated 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports and 2 flexible combo ports that support either RJ45 or SFP fiber modules for long-distance uplinks up to 100km with compatible transceivers, ensuring low-latency aggregation to core switches or routers
Omada SDN Integration for Zero-Touch Provisioning
Fully compatible with TP-Link Omada Software Defined Networking platform, allowing automatic device discovery, remote configuration, and bulk firmware upgrades via cloud-based or on-premises controllers; supports multi-site management for distributed networks without on-site IT visits
Centralized Cloud and App Management
Access real-time monitoring, traffic analytics, and alerts through the Omada app or web portal from anywhere; includes intelligent insights like device health, bandwidth usage, and anomaly detection to simplify troubleshooting and maintain peak performance

FAQs
Is the SL2428P fully managed or just smart?
It’s a smart (L2+) managed switch with web/CLI/SNMP interfaces; full SDN features require the Omada Controller for cloud management.
Can it power 24 IP cameras simultaneously?
Yes, with the 250W budget, but depends on each camera’s power draw (e.g., up to 24 at 8-10W each); use PoE priority for critical ones.
Does it support fiber uplinks?
Yes, the 2 combo ports accept SFP modules for multimode/single-mode fiber connections up to 100km.
