TP-Link JetStream TL-SL2428P Managed PoE Switch

TP-Link TL-SL2428P | 24-Port Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch

The TP-Link JetStream TL-SL2428P network switch Managed L2 Fast Ethernet (10/100) Power over Ethernet (PoE) 1U Black delivers enterprise-grade switching for growing networks. With 24 PoE+ ports and robust Layer 2 management, it’s built for businesses needing reliable power and data delivery to IP cameras, phones, and wireless access points.

Power every device without extra adapters

The TL-SL2428P provides 24 IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PoE ports with a total budget of 250W, eliminating the need for separate power supplies for IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points. This centralised power delivery reduces cable clutter and simplifies deployment in offices, retail spaces, or surveillance installations.

Enterprise switching with Layer 2 intelligence

Built on a managed Layer 2 platform, this switch offers VLAN segmentation, link aggregation, and port mirroring for network optimisation. The 8,000 MAC address table and 9.5 Mpps throughput ensure smooth performance even in busy environments, while spanning tree protocol prevents network loops.

Advanced security and traffic control

Protect your network with broadcast storm control, ACL support, and SSH/SSL encryption. Quality of Service (QoS) prioritises critical traffic like voice and video, ensuring clear calls and smooth streaming. IGMP snooping intelligently forwards multicast streams only to subscribed devices, reducing unnecessary bandwidth usage.

Flexible deployment options

With 4 Gigabit copper ports and 2 combo SFP slots, you can connect high-speed servers or uplink to other network switches. The 1U rack-mountable design fits standard 19″ racks, while the fan-cooled chassis maintains stable operation in temperature-controlled environments between 0-40°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I power 24 devices simultaneously at full PoE?

A: Yes, but total power draw must stay within the 250W budget. High-power devices may require staggered deployment.

Q: Does this switch support VLAN configuration?

A: Yes, it supports up to 512 VLANs with 802.1Q tagging for network segmentation.

Q: Can I monitor switch performance remotely?

A: Yes, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and RMON support enable remote monitoring and management.

Q: What’s the maximum cable length for PoE devices?

A: Standard Ethernet cable supports up to 100 metres, though power drop may affect performance at maximum distance.

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor deployment?

A: No, the operating temperature range (0-40°C) limits use to indoor environments.
