points?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWi-Fi 6 access points can aggregate wireless throughput from multiple clients exceeding 1Gbps on a single AP. A standard 1G uplink port creates a bottleneck that limits the AP’s real-world performance. The TL-SG3428X-M2’s 2.5G ports eliminate this bottleneck at a lower cost than full 10GE access switching — making it the ideal mid-tier upgrade for high-density Wi-Fi 6 deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes 2.5GBASE-T work on existing Cat5e and Cat6 cabling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. 2.5GBASE-T is specifically designed to run at 2.5Gbps on existing Cat5e and Cat6 cabling up to 100 metres — the same distance as standard Gigabit Ethernet. This makes the TL-SG3428X-M2 an ideal upgrade path for buildings already cabled with Cat5e or Cat6, without requiring a full recabling project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the TL-SG3428X-M2 require an Omada Controller?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The TL-SG3428X-M2 supports full standalone management via web UI, CLI (Console, Telnet, SSH), SNMP, and RMON without any controller. Omada SDN integration is optional and adds centralised multi-device management, cloud access, and the Omada app interface — recommended for large deployments with multiple switches and APs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the TL-SG3428X-M2 and the TL-SG3452XP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TL-SG3428X-M2 provides 24 × 2.5G multi-gigabit access ports without PoE, making it suited for environments where PoE is not required or where PoE is handled by a separate switch. The TL-SG3452XP provides 48 × Gigabit PoE+ ports with a 500W budget, suited for large-scale PoE device deployments. Choose the TL-SG3428X-M2 when multi-gigabit speed per port is the priority; choose the TL-SG3452XP when PoE port count and budget are the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat SFP+ modules or cables are compatible with the uplink slots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe four SFP+ slots support standard 10GE SFP+ modules including TP-Link’s own SFP+ transceivers (single-mode and multi-mode fibre) and DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables. Check TP-Link’s compatibility list for third-party SFP+ module support.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TP-Link","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44387072114917,"sku":"TL-SG3428X-M2","price":771.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1554\/1221\/files\/tp-link-omada-sg3428x-m2-24-port-2-5g-managed-switch.png?v=1779785095","url":"https:\/\/cctvguru.com.au\/products\/tp-link-tl-sg3428x-m2-jetstream-24-port-2-5g-l2-managed-switch-10ge-sfp","provider":"CCTV Guru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
