TP-Link TL-SL2428P 24-Port PoE+ Smart Switch 250W
The TP-Link TL-SL2428P is a 24-port managed switch designed for small to medium business networks that need Power over Ethernet to run devices like IP cameras and wireless access points. It delivers 250 W of total PoE power across 24 ports, with built-in security, QoS, and management tools to keep the network running smoothly.
Why this product
24 PoE ports with 250 W budget
Each port supplies up to 30 W of power using the 802.3af/at standard. Total PoE power budget is 250 W, sufficient for multiple powered devices across the network.
Security and traffic control built in
802.1Q VLAN, Port Security, and Storm control protect the network. L2/L3/L4 QoS and IGMP snooping prioritize voice and video traffic.
4 Gigabit uplink ports plus SFP slots
Four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and two combo Gigabit SFP slots provide flexibility for backbone and server connections beyond the 24 standard ports.
Managed via web or command line
WEB and CLI management modes, SNMP, and RMON let you monitor and control the switch from any connected system.
Rack-mounted for server rooms
Supplied with a rackmount kit and rubber feet for flexible deployment in network cabinets or on desks.

- MountingRack-mountable
- SKUTPL-1049
- EAN6935364030629
- Works with any standard IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at PoE device: IP cameras, wireless access points, IP phones, and similar equipment.
- Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, NetWare, and UNIX systems for management.
- Supports fiber optic uplinks via the two combo Gigabit SFP slots for long-distance backbone runs.
- Actual PoE power available to devices will vary based on power supply load, environmental factors, and individual device power requirements; the 250 W budget is a laboratory maximum, not a guarantee.
Best for
- Small offices and branch sites needing 24 powered device ports without a separate PoE injector.
- IP surveillance networks with a mix of wired cameras, NVRs, and access points on the same switch.
- Networks requiring layer 2 and layer 3 switching with QoS to handle voice, video, and data traffic on priority.
- System integrators and managed service providers who need CLI scripting, SNMP traps, and RMON reporting.
Trade-offs
- Networks with more than 24 standard powered devices, unless additional switches are added.
- High-power PoE devices. The 802.3at limit of 30 W per port is insufficient for devices rated above that; you would need PoE++ or separate power.
- Unmanaged plug-and-play deployments; this switch requires configuration for VLAN, security, and QoS.
