TP-Link TL-SG3428XF 24-port SFP L2+ managed network switch with 4 10G SFP+ slots

24-Port SFP L2+ Managed Switch

The TP-Link TL-SG3428XF is a fully managed network switch built for business environments that require high-speed fibre connectivity. It provides 20 dedicated gigabit SFP ports and 4 SFP/RJ45 combo ports for flexible gigabit links. Four additional 10 Gbps SFP+ slots deliver lightning-fast uplink capacity for aggregation or server connections.

Suits fibre-heavy deployments.

This switch suits IT teams building or expanding an all-fibre backbone where gigabit and 10 Gbps SFP modules are the standard interconnect. Buyers who need RJ45 copper ports on every interface should look at a different model, as only four combo ports support twisted-pair media. The feature set targets managed Layer 2+ networks with VLAN, static routing and IGMP snooping requirements.

Four 10 Gbps SFP+ uplink slots

The four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports are the specification that determines whether this switch matches the uplink bandwidth your core or aggregation layer demands. If the design calls for 10 Gbps fibre uplinks, these slots provide them; if the plan relies solely on gigabit links, a switch without 10 Gbps ports may be more cost-effective.
