TP-Link Switch Omada SG3428XMP - 24 Ports - 24x GE (10/100/1000) - 4x SFP+ - 24x PoE+

The TP-Link Omada SG3428XMP is a 24-port L2+ managed PoE switch designed for small and medium office networks, hotels, venues, and more serious surveillance installations. You get 24 x Gigabit PoE+ ports with a total PoE budget of 384 W, plus 4 x 1/10G SFP+ for uplink to core or storage. The combination of 128 Gbps switching capacity and 95.23 Mpps forwarding ensures stable traffic even under heavy VLANs and many active clients. The built-in Omada SDN support gives you centralized management and Zero-Touch Provisioning for easier deployment.

What you get is a switch that can comfortably power a whole group of PoE devices – from IP cameras and access points to VoIP phones – with up to 30 W per port, as long as it stays within the total 384 W budget. The 4 SFP+ ports at 1/10G are convenient for connecting to a 10G backbone, so you won't choke when several uplinks or NAS devices are attached to the switch. 16 IPv4/IPv6 interfaces and 48 static routes allow you to segment the network and have basic routing directly through it, without immediately investing in a separate L3 router. Thanks to Omada SDN integration, you can centrally manage switches, access points, and gateways – suitable if you are building a larger but standardized network. For more "dirty" environments, you also have surge protection of ±6 kV on the service ports, which protects your investment during thunderstorms and power disturbances.

• 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 PoE+ ports give you enough ports for IP cameras, access points, and phones, without the need for separate PoE injectors.
• Total PoE budget of 384 W allows simultaneous powering of multiple PoE+ devices, with each port able to provide up to 30 W.
• 4 x 1/10G SFP+ ports provide 10 Gigabit uplink options to core, storage, or other switches for higher overall throughput.
• Switching capacity 128 Gbps and 95.23 Mpps forwarding rate guarantee that the switch will not be a bottleneck under intensive traffic in business or campus environments.
• L2+ managed switch with VLAN support, port security, and advanced multicast filtering gives you the necessary control for segmentation, security, and efficient multicast distribution (for example for IPTV or surveillance).
• Omada SDN support (hardware, software, and cloud controller, Zero-Touch Provisioning, centralized management) facilitates the configuration and maintenance of your entire Omada infrastructure.
• Rackmount form factor and dimensions 440 x 330 x 44 mm make it convenient for standard 19" racks, with LED indicators for quick status and activity overview.
• MTBF 277,104 h @ 25 °C, two fans, and an operating range of 0 °C to 45 °C are a good indicator of reliability under 24/7 load.

Who it is suitable for: if you are building an office or hotel network, a larger facility with IP surveillance or Wi-Fi coverage with many access points, this switch is a logical rack center. It is also suitable for more serious SMB environments where you want VLANs, basic routing, and centralized management via Omada SDN. If you are looking for a very simple unmanaged switch for home use without PoE, this is already beyond your needs.

The combination of 24 PoE+ ports, strong PoE budget, and 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, plus L2+ functionality and Omada SDN, makes the SG3428XMP a very practical choice for serious but still budget-conscious network projects. You get flexibility for growth without sacrificing control and manageability.
