Description
24-Port PoE+ Switching Made Simple for SMB and CCTV Installations
The TP-Link TL-SG1428PE is a 28-port Gigabit Easy Smart switch that bridges the gap between unmanaged and fully managed switches. With 24 IEEE 802.3at/af PoE+ ports, 4 Gigabit SFP uplink slots, and an intuitive web interface, it gives installers and small business network administrators essential management features — including VLAN segmentation and QoS — without the complexity of a full L2+ managed switch.
Key Features
-
24× Gigabit PoE+ Ports (802.3at/af) — power IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and access control devices over a single cable
-
4× Gigabit SFP Uplink Slots — fibre or copper uplinks for high-speed backbone connectivity
-
250W Total PoE Budget — up to 30W per port to support demanding PoE+ devices
-
56 Gbps Switching Capacity — non-blocking performance for high-density deployments
-
32× VLAN Support — segment network traffic for security, guest access, and IoT isolation
-
QoS (802.1p/DSCP) — prioritise voice and video traffic for consistent performance
-
Easy Smart Web Interface — simplified management without CLI or complex configuration
-
Rack-Mountable, 1U — standard 19-inch rack form factor for network cabinet installation
- 5-Year Warranty
Typical Use Cases
- PoE switching for IP CCTV systems with up to 24 cameras
- Small to medium business networks requiring basic VLAN segmentation
- Wireless access point deployments in offices, schools, and retail environments
- VoIP phone systems needing QoS prioritisation
- Network upgrades from unmanaged switches where basic management is needed

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the TL-SG1428PE and the TL-SG3428MP?
- The TL-SG1428PE is an Easy Smart switch with a simplified web interface, 32 VLANs, and basic QoS — ideal for straightforward CCTV and SMB deployments. The TL-SG3428MP is a full L2+ managed switch with Omada SDN integration, static routing, advanced ACL security, LACP link aggregation, and IGMP snooping, suited to more complex enterprise network environments.
- How many IP cameras can the TL-SG1428PE power?
- With a 250W PoE budget and 24 PoE+ ports, it can power up to 24 cameras. Actual capacity depends on each camera’s power draw — cameras drawing 10–15W each will allow the full 24 ports to be used simultaneously.
- Does the TL-SG1428PE support VLAN isolation for CCTV traffic?
- Yes. It supports up to 32 802.1Q VLANs, allowing you to isolate CCTV traffic on a dedicated VLAN separate from staff, guest, or IoT networks.
- Can I use fibre uplinks with this switch?
- Yes. The 4× Gigabit SFP slots support fibre transceivers for long-distance uplinks to a core switch or NVR, as well as SFP-to-RJ45 copper modules.
- Does this switch require any special software to manage?
- No. The TL-SG1428PE is managed entirely through a built-in web interface accessible from any browser on the local network. No additional software, controller, or app is required.
