Description
TP-Link Omada SG6428X 24-Port Gigabit + 4-Port 10G SFP+ Layer 3 Managed Switch
Enterprise-Grade Layer 3 Switching for Growing Business Networks
The TP-Link Omada SG6428X is a versatile Layer 3 managed switch that combines 24 Gigabit RJ45 access ports with 4 high-speed 10G SFP+ uplink ports in a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor. Fully integrated with the Omada SDN platform, it delivers the routing capabilities, VLAN segmentation, QoS, and centralised management that IT professionals and network installers need for reliable, scalable business network infrastructure.
Key Features
-
24× Gigabit RJ45 Ports — High-density access layer connectivity for workstations, IP phones, access points, and other wired devices.
-
4× 10G SFP+ Uplink Ports — Four 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports provide high-speed uplinks to core switches, routers, or servers, eliminating bottlenecks in high-throughput environments.
-
Layer 3 Routing — Supports static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF, and inter-VLAN routing for advanced traffic management across subnets without a dedicated router.
-
Omada SDN Integration — Fully managed via the Omada Software Defined Networking platform through hardware controllers, software controllers, or Omada Cloud for centralised multi-site management.
-
Advanced QoS — 802.1p and DSCP-based QoS policies prioritise latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP, video conferencing, and IP surveillance streams.
-
Comprehensive VLAN Support — 802.1Q VLANs, voice VLANs, and private VLANs for granular traffic segmentation across corporate, guest, IoT, and CCTV networks.
-
Robust Security — Includes 802.1X port authentication, IP-MAC-Port binding, Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI), DHCP snooping, and ACLs.
-
Redundancy & Resilience — Supports STP/RSTP/MSTP and LACP link aggregation for high-availability network designs.
-
SNMP & CLI Management — Supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3, SSH, Telnet, and web UI for flexible management options beyond the Omada platform.
-
1U Rack-Mountable — Standard 1U form factor for clean, professional data centre and comms room installations.
Use Cases
- Access layer switching for small to medium business office networks
- Aggregation switch connecting multiple access switches to a core layer via 10G SFP+ uplinks
- IP surveillance networks requiring VLAN isolation of camera traffic from corporate data
- Education, healthcare, and hospitality networks with 802.1X authentication and guest VLAN separation
- Managed service provider (MSP) deployments with centralised Omada SDN control across multiple sites
- Converged networks carrying voice, video, data, and IoT traffic on a single infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the SG6428X support PoE?
No. The SG6428X is a non-PoE switch. If you need to power access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones via PoE, consider the TP-Link Omada SG6654XHP, which offers 48 × 2.5G PoE+ ports with a 600W PoE budget.
Is the SG6428X fanless?
Yes. The SG6428X operates completely silently with a fanless design, making it suitable for installation in quiet office environments, comms rooms, or anywhere noise is a concern.
Do I need an Omada controller to manage the SG6428X?
No. The SG6428X can be managed via its local web interface or CLI without a controller. For multi-device or multi-site deployments, using an Omada hardware controller (OC200/OC300), software controller, or Omada Cloud is strongly recommended for centralised management and visibility.
Can the SG6428X perform inter-VLAN routing?
Yes. As a Layer 3 switch, the SG6428X supports inter-VLAN routing at wire speed, allowing traffic to be routed between VLANs without requiring a separate router for internal traffic.
What SFP+ modules are compatible with the 10G uplink ports?
The SG6428X is compatible with TP-Link Omada-branded 10G SFP+ modules including DAC cables and fibre transceivers. Third-party SFP+ modules may also be compatible but are not officially supported. Contact your reseller for a validated compatibility list.
What is the difference between the SG6428X and the SG6654XHP?
The SG6428X is a non-PoE Layer 3 managed switch with 24 Gigabit ports and 4 × 10G SFP+ uplinks, suited for environments where PoE is not required. The SG6654XHP offers 48 × 2.5G PoE+ ports with a 600W PoE budget, designed for high-density deployments powering Wi-Fi 6 APs, IP cameras, and other PoE devices at multi-gigabit speeds.
