TP-Link JetStream 24-Port Gigabit Managed Switch

TP-Link TL-SG3428 | 24-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch with 4 SFP Slots

The TP-Link TL-SG3428 is a 24-port Gigabit L2+ managed switch with 4 SFP slots, designed for businesses needing robust network performance and centralized management. With Omada SDN integration, it offers zero-touch provisioning, cloud-based monitoring, and advanced security features, making it ideal for enterprise environments, campuses, and service providers.

Key Specs at a Glance

Built for Enterprise Networks

The TL-SG3428 delivers full Gigabit speeds across all 24 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP slots, ensuring high-bandwidth connectivity for servers, workstations, and uplink connections. Its 56 Gbps switching capacity and 41.66 Mpps forwarding rate handle demanding traffic loads without bottlenecks. Static routing and advanced L3 features allow efficient traffic segmentation and internal routing, reducing latency and improving network efficiency.

Omada SDN Integration for Simplified Management

Integrated into TP-Link’s Omada Software Defined Networking platform, this switch supports zero-touch provisioning, centralized cloud management, and intelligent monitoring. Whether using the Omada app, cloud controller, or hardware controller (OC200/OC300), administrators can manage the entire network from a single interface. This is particularly valuable for multi-site deployments, hospitality venues, and educational institutions requiring seamless wireless and wired connectivity.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Security is comprehensive, with IP-MAC-Port binding, 802.1X authentication, RADIUS/TACACS+ support, and port isolation to protect against unauthorized access. DoS defense mechanisms, storm control, and DHCP snooping guard against common network attacks. ACLs (L2 to L4) restrict access based on MAC, IP, TCP/UDP ports, or VLAN ID, ensuring sensitive resources remain protected.

Optimized for Voice and Video

Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes voice and video traffic using 802.1p CoS, DSCP, or port-based classification. With 8 priority queues and scheduling options (SP, WRR, SP+WRR), critical applications maintain smooth performance even during peak usage. IGMP snooping ensures multicast streams are delivered only to subscribed devices, reducing unnecessary network congestion.
