Description
24-Port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch with 4 SFP Uplinks, Omada SDN and Fanless Design
The TP-Link TL-SG3428 is a JetStream L2 fully managed switch that combines 24 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four Gigabit SFP uplink slots in a fanless, rack-mountable 1U chassis. With 56Gbps non-blocking switching capacity, Omada SDN cloud management, Zero-Touch Provisioning, static routing, and a comprehensive security and QoS feature set — all without a single fan — it's purpose-built for quiet, professional network deployments in offices, comms cabinets, and multi-site business infrastructure across Australia where silence and performance are equally important.
Key Features
-
24× Gigabit RJ45 Ports: Full 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation on all 24 ports for high-speed wired connectivity across all connected devices.
-
4× Gigabit SFP Uplink Slots: Connect to fibre backbone switches or extend your network over long distances using single-mode or multi-mode SFP modules.
-
Fanless & Silent: Completely silent operation with no moving parts — ideal for open-plan offices, boardrooms, reception areas, and any environment where fan noise is unacceptable.
-
56 Gbps Non-Blocking Switching Capacity: Handles simultaneous full-speed traffic across all 24 ports without bottlenecks.
-
Omada SDN Integration: Centrally manage alongside Omada routers and access points via cloud or local controller — with Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for rapid remote deployment across multiple sites.
-
L2+ Static Routing: Routes inter-VLAN traffic without a dedicated router, improving efficiency in segmented networks.
-
L2/L3/L4 QoS with 8 Priority Queues: Advanced traffic prioritisation with SP, WRR, and SP+WRR scheduling — ensures smooth IP camera feeds, VoIP calls, and video streams under heavy load.
-
IGMP Snooping: Optimises multicast traffic for IP camera streams and IPTV, reducing unnecessary bandwidth consumption.
-
Robust Security Suite: IP-MAC-Port Binding, ACL, Port Security, DoS Defence, Storm Control, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X, and RADIUS Authentication.
-
802.1Q VLAN: Segment camera traffic, staff devices, guest networks, and IoT devices onto separate logical networks.
-
Standalone Management: Web UI, CLI (RJ45 Console, Micro-USB Console, Telnet, SSH), SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, and Dual Image for enterprise-grade standalone management without Omada.
-
16K MAC Address Table: Supports large networks with many devices without address table overflow.
-
Rack Mountable (1U): Standard 19-inch rack form factor (440 × 180 × 44mm) for professional installations in comms cabinets and server rooms.
Common Use Cases
- Office networks requiring a silent, fanless managed switch in open-plan or client-facing environments
- CCTV and IP surveillance networks with VLAN segmentation and QoS for camera traffic
- Multi-site business networks managed centrally via Omada cloud with ZTP
- Distribution or access switch in multi-floor building networks with fibre SFP uplinks
- Networks requiring inter-VLAN routing without a dedicated Layer 3 router
- Boardrooms, reception areas, and quiet environments where fan noise is unacceptable

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the TL-SG3428 and the TL-SG3428XMP?
The TL-SG3428 is a non-PoE L2 managed switch with Gigabit SFP uplinks, a fanless design, and a 19.9W power draw. The TL-SG3428XMP adds 24-port PoE+ (384W budget), four 10G SFP+ uplinks, and active cooling (fans). Choose the TL-SG3428 for silent, non-PoE deployments where devices are powered separately; choose the TL-SG3428XMP for large PoE camera or access point deployments requiring 10G uplinks.
What is the difference between the TL-SG3428 and the TL-SG2428P?
The TL-SG3428 is a full L2 managed switch with CLI management (SSH/Telnet/Console), SNMP, RMON, Link Aggregation (LACP), and a 16K MAC address table. The TL-SG2428P is a smart managed switch with a simpler web-only interface, 8K MAC table, and includes 24-port PoE+ (250W). Choose the TL-SG3428 for non-PoE deployments requiring enterprise CLI management; choose the TL-SG2428P if PoE is needed with simpler management.
Why is the fanless design important?
Fanless switches produce zero noise — making them ideal for open-plan offices, boardrooms, reception areas, libraries, and any environment where fan noise would be disruptive or unprofessional. They also have no moving parts, which improves long-term reliability and reduces maintenance requirements compared to fan-cooled switches.
What is Omada SDN and do I need a controller?
Omada SDN is TP-Link's centralised network management platform. The TL-SG3428 can be managed via the Omada cloud (no hardware controller required), a hardware Omada controller (OC300/OC200), or a software controller on a local server. For standalone deployments, it can also be managed independently via web UI, CLI, or SNMP without any Omada controller.
Can I manage it via command line (CLI)?
Yes. The TL-SG3428 supports CLI management via the RJ45 console port, Micro-USB console port, Telnet, and SSH — providing enterprise-grade command-line access for advanced configuration, scripting, and troubleshooting. It also supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 and RMON for integration with network management systems.
Does it support inter-VLAN routing without a separate router?
Yes. The TL-SG3428 supports static routing (L2+), allowing it to route traffic between VLANs internally — eliminating the need for a dedicated Layer 3 router in many deployments. This is useful for separating camera traffic, staff devices, and guest networks while still allowing controlled inter-VLAN communication.
