Overview
- The TP-Link TL-SG1428PE is a 28-port Gigabit managed switch purpose-built for small to medium businesses requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. With 24 PoE+ ports and a 250 W power budget, it eliminates the need for separate power supplies to networked devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, reducing installation complexity and costs.
The switch delivers 56 Gbps switching capacity with advanced traffic management features including QoS prioritisation, IGMP Snooping for IPTV optimisation, and PoE Auto Recovery to ensure connected devices maintain stable operation even after power interruptions. Intelligent power management protects the switch from overload, whilst priority mode guarantees performance for sensitive applications like video surveillance.
Designed for professional deployment, the TL-SG1428PE is rack-mountable, features dual cooling fans for thermal management, and includes two SFP slots for fibre uplinks on larger networks. It's a reliable, cost-effective choice for businesses transitioning to networked infrastructure.

FAQs
What is PoE+ and how does it benefit my business?
PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) allows the switch to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. This eliminates the need for separate power outlets and reduces installation costs and cable clutter, particularly in surveillance and office deployments.
How many PoE devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The TL-SG1428PE can power up to 24 PoE devices simultaneously, with a total PoE power budget of 250 W. This is sufficient for most small to medium business surveillance systems, wireless network deployments, and VoIP installations.
Is this switch suitable for rack mounting in a server room?
Yes. The TL-SG1428PE is designed for rack mounting and occupies one rack unit (1 RU). It includes built-in fans for thermal management and a security lock slot for physical security in data centre environments.
What are the SFP ports used for?
The two Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports allow you to connect fibre-optic cables for long-distance or high-bandwidth uplinks to other network equipment. This is useful for connecting to core network infrastructure or remote locations.
Does the switch support VLAN segmentation?
Yes. The TL-SG1428PE supports IEEE 802.1q VLAN tagging with up to 32 VLANs, allowing you to segment network traffic for improved security and performance across different departments or device types.
What is PoE Auto Recovery?
PoE Auto Recovery automatically restores power to connected devices after a power interruption or system reset. This ensures that PoE-powered devices such as cameras or access points resume operation without manual intervention, minimising downtime.
What cables are required for installation?
The switch supports standard Category 5, 5e, and 6 UTP or STP Ethernet cables with a maximum run of 100 metres. For PoE devices, standard Ethernet cables rated for PoE+ are recommended.
How does QoS improve network performance?
Quality of Service (QoS) prioritises critical traffic such as video surveillance or VoIP calls, ensuring stable performance even during periods of high network congestion. The TL-SG1428PE supports port-based 802.1p and DSCP priority for flexible traffic management.
