Overview
- The TP-Link SG2428P JetStream is a managed gigabit smart switch purpose-built for SMB networks that need reliable performance and centralised control. With 24 PoE+ ports delivering 250W of power, it simplifies the deployment of powered devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power infrastructure.
Integration with TP-Link's Omada SDN platform enables Zero-Touch Provisioning, cloud-based management, and intelligent network monitoring from a single console. This significantly reduces deployment time and ongoing administrative overhead, making it ideal for distributed or growing networks.
The 56 Gbps backplane and 41.7 Mpps forwarding rate ensure wire-speed performance across all ports, while advanced Layer 2/3/4 QoS prioritises business-critical traffic such as voice and video. Comprehensive security features including 802.1X authentication, DHCP Snooping, ACL, and DoS protection safeguard your network against unauthorised access and attacks.
Designed for rack mounting in standard 19-inch cabinets, the SG2428P fits seamlessly into professional network deployments where space and organisation are critical.

FAQs
What does the 250W PoE+ budget mean, and how many devices can it power?
The 250W budget is the total power the switch can deliver across all 24 PoE+ ports combined. The exact number of devices you can power depends on their individual power requirements. For example, you could power approximately 25 devices drawing 10W each, or fewer higher-power devices. Check your device specifications to ensure they fall within the 802.3at/af standard.
Can the SG2428P integrate with my existing Omada network?
Yes. The SG2428P is fully integrated into TP-Link's Omada SDN platform, allowing you to manage it alongside other Omada-compatible devices from a single cloud-based console. It supports Zero-Touch Provisioning for simplified deployment and centralised monitoring.
What are the 4 SFP slots used for?
The 4 gigabit SFP slots provide high-speed uplink or inter-switch connectivity using fibre optic cables. They support both multimode (MMF) and single-mode (SMF) fibre, enabling long-distance connections beyond the 100m limit of copper cabling.
Is this switch suitable for rack mounting in a data centre?
Yes. The SG2428P is designed for rack mounting in standard 19-inch cabinets with a compact 1U form factor (440 × 220 × 44 mm), making it ideal for data centres, server rooms, and professional network installations.
What security features does the SG2428P offer?
The switch includes comprehensive security controls: IP-MAC-Port Binding to prevent spoofing, ACL and Port Security for access control, DHCP Snooping to prevent rogue servers, 802.1X port-based authentication, RADIUS support, DoS Defence, and Storm Control to protect against network attacks.
Can I prioritise voice and video traffic on this switch?
Yes. The SG2428P supports Layer 2/3/4 QoS and 802.1p CoS/DSCP marking, allowing you to prioritise business-critical applications like VoIP and video conferencing. IGMP snooping optimises multicast video delivery.
What happens if I want to add more network capacity in the future?
The 4 gigabit SFP slots allow you to add fibre uplinks for additional bandwidth to core switches or other network segments. For more ports, you can stack additional Omada-compatible switches and manage them collectively through the Omada console.
What is the warranty period for the SG2428P?
The TP-Link SG2428P comes with a 60-month (5-year) warranty, providing long-term protection and support for your investment.
