Jan
Many of our customers use Cisco and MikroTik switches, which we covered in previous blog posts. However, a small percentage of enterprise customers choose TP-Link. Today’s post discusses the TL-SG2428P, a PoE switch for SMB networks. At the end of the post, we’ll list in detail the SFP and fiber optic patch cables that are compatible with this switch.

TP-Link TL-SG2428P Overview
The TP-Link TL-SG2428P is a powerful 28-port Gigabit managed PoE switch. Equipped with 24 PoE+ (802.3at/af) enabled ports and 4 Gigabit SFP uplink ports, the switch delivers a total PoE budget of up to 250W and is capable of powering a wide range of devices (such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones) simultaneously. The built-in PoE feature helps users save a lot of cabling costs and provides excellent flexibility.
In addition, the switch supports TP-Link’s Omada SDN platform, which allows users to centrally manage their networks via the cloud centrally, providing flexible deployment and an efficient management experience. In addition, it supports enterprise-class features such as VLAN, ACL, QoS, and IGMP Snooping.
Overall, as a full-port PoE switch, the TP-Link TL-SG2428P can not only power different end devices but also has a relatively intuitive and simple Web user interface, which is a good performance in terms of functionality and ease of use. And most importantly, the relatively affordable price can attract many enterprise users.
Compatible SFP and Patch Cable for TP-Link TL-SG2428P
The TP-Link TL-SG2428P has 4 Gigabit SFP ports, allowing uplink connections to the core switch via fiber or copper cable. The SFP slot supports various 1G SFP modules, such as 1G SFP, BiDi SFP, CWDM SFP, and DWDM SFP. However, OEMs only provide a limited number of models at much higher prices. In that case, you can purchase quality and inexpensive SFP replacements from OPTCORE, and they do not void the switch’s warranty.
