Description
TP-Link TL-SX3016F JetStream 16-Port 10GE SFP+ L2+ Managed Switch
16-Port 10G SFP+ Core Switch for High-Density Fibre Networks
The TP-Link TL-SX3016F is a JetStream L2+ managed switch with 16 full 10 Gbps SFP+ slots, 320 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity, and a fanless design for silent operation. Built for data centres, enterprise cores, and high-density campus networks, it delivers wire-speed 10G fibre aggregation with advanced L2+ features, Omada SDN integration, static routing, and dual fixed AC power supplies for carrier-class reliability. An ideal aggregation or core switch for Australian enterprise and commercial network deployments.
Key Features
- 16 × 10GE SFP+ slots — full wire-speed 10 Gbps on every port simultaneously
- 320 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity with 238.08 Mpps packet forwarding rate
- Fanless design — silent operation with metal casing rated to 45°C operating temperature
- Dual fixed AC power supplies — carrier-class redundancy for mission-critical environments
- Omada SDN integration — centralised cloud management, remote access, and intelligent monitoring
- Static routing (IPv4 & IPv6) — up to 48 static routes for efficient inter-VLAN traffic management
- Enterprise QoS — L2/L3/L4 traffic prioritisation for voice, video, and critical applications
- IGMP Snooping — efficient multicast traffic management for AV-over-IP and video surveillance
- Advanced security — IP-MAC-Port Binding, ACL, Port Security, 802.1X Authentication
- 32K MAC address table with 24 Mbit packet buffer
- Dual console ports — RJ45 and Micro-USB for flexible CLI access
- 1U rack-mountable — standard 19-inch rack compatible
Use Cases
-
Data Centre Core & Aggregation: Aggregate 10G uplinks from multiple access switches into a high-capacity core with wire-speed forwarding and no oversubscription.
-
Enterprise Campus Networks: Connect distribution layer switches, servers, and storage arrays at 10G with centralised Omada SDN management across multiple sites.
-
High-Density IP Surveillance: Aggregate 10G uplinks from multiple PoE switches feeding high-resolution IP cameras and NVRs into a central recording and management infrastructure.
-
AV-over-IP & Broadcast: IGMP Snooping and QoS ensure multicast AV streams are delivered reliably without flooding the network.
-
Colocation & Server Rooms: Fanless, silent operation and dual redundant power supplies make it suitable for noise-sensitive and uptime-critical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What SFP+ transceivers are compatible with the TL-SX3016F?
The TL-SX3016F supports standard SFP+ MSA-compliant transceivers. TP-Link’s own modules — including the TL-SM5110-SR (multi-mode, 300 m) and TL-SM5110-LR (single-mode, 10 km) — are fully compatible, as are compatible DAC cables for short rack-to-rack connections. Third-party SFP+ modules may also work but should be tested for compatibility.
Does the TL-SX3016F require an Omada Controller to function?
No. The switch operates fully in standalone mode and can be managed via its web UI or CLI without any controller. Omada SDN integration is optional and enables centralised management of the entire network — switches, routers, and access points — from a single interface.
Is the switch truly fanless at full load?
Yes. The TL-SX3016F is completely fanless with no moving parts, relying on passive thermal management through its metal chassis. It is rated for operation up to 45°C, making it suitable for server rooms, comms rooms, and noise-sensitive environments.
What is the benefit of dual redundant power supplies?
Dual redundant power supplies mean the switch continues operating if one power supply fails — the second takes over automatically with no downtime. This is essential for mission-critical environments where network availability cannot be compromised.
Can the TL-SX3016F be used as a core switch in a large IP surveillance network?
Yes. Its 16 × 10G SFP+ ports, 320 Gbps switching capacity, IGMP Snooping, and QoS make it well-suited as a core aggregation switch for large IP camera networks — aggregating 10G uplinks from multiple PoE access switches feeding high-resolution cameras and NVRs.
