TP-Link 28-Port Gigabit L2+ Managed Switch 24-Port PoE+ 384 W network switch

28-Port L2+ Managed PoE+ Switch

This TP-Link switch delivers 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports and four SFP uplinks in a 28-port chassis. It provides a 384 W PoE budget for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones over Ethernet. The Layer 2+ feature set includes static routing, VLANs, and Ethernet ring protection for network redundancy. Management is handled through the Omada SDN platform with cloud access and a mobile app.

Suited for PoE-heavy edge deployments

Network administrators who need centralized control of powered devices across multiple sites will benefit from the zero-touch provisioning and single-pane-of-glass management. The high port count and PoE budget fit surveillance, campus Wi-Fi, and unified communications rollouts. Buyers who need Layer 3 dynamic routing, 10 GbE uplinks, or a smaller port count for a home office should look at something else.

384 W total PoE budget

This figure is the hard limit for all connected powered devices combined. Each port can negotiate up to the PoE+ maximum, but the aggregate draw cannot exceed 384 W. Calculate the peak power of every camera, access point, and phone before committing to this switch. If the total exceeds the budget, devices will not receive sufficient power.
