TP-Link TL-SG1428PE network switch 28-port, 24 × PoE+ 250 W, 2 × SFP

The TP-Link TL-SG1428PE is a 28-port gigabit network switch whose 24 PoE+ ports power IP cameras, access points and IP phones over the same cable that carries their data. The total PoE budget is 250 W, and Easy Smart management adds VLANs and QoS.

  • Ports: 26 × RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps + 2 × SFP (1000BASE-X)
  • PoE: 24 × PoE+ (802.3af/at), up to 30 W per port, 250 W in total
  • Management: Easy Smart L2, web interface, 32 VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, port mirroring
  • Performance: 56 Gbps switching capacity, 8000-entry MAC table
  • Housing: 1U rackmount, rack kit included, 440 × 220 × 44 mm, 2 fans
  • Power: AC 100–240 V, power cable included

Description

A PoE budget for a whole camera system

Each PoE+ port delivers up to 30 W, with 250 W shared across all 24 ports. When consumption nears the limit, intelligent power management cuts the lower-priority ports first so the important devices keep running. PoE Auto Recovery reboots a camera or access point by itself when it stops responding. Two SFP slots let you link the switch over fibre to another building or the server room.

Who this network switch is for

Small and medium businesses that need to power dozens of IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points or IP phones from one rack; surveillance installers who need a large PoE budget and a fibre uplink; and offices, dormitories or schools where the network has to be split into segments with VLANs.

Questions & answers

How many cameras or access points can it power?

The total PoE budget is 250 W, with up to 30 W per port. If each device draws around 10 W, all 24 ports can be powered at once. With higher-power devices the number depends on what they actually draw.

Is this a managed switch?

Yes, it is an Easy Smart L2 switch. The web interface or the TP-Link utility lets you set up to 32 VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, port mirroring and link aggregation.

Can it be mounted in a rack?

Yes, the housing is 1U high and the rack mounting kit is in the box. It measures 440 × 220 × 44 mm and is cooled by two fans.
