Build a faster access layer without adding separate power infrastructure. The TP-Link Omada SG3428XPP-M2 combines 24 x 2.5GBASE-T ports with 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks, giving modern networks the bandwidth needed for Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, high-performance workstations, and dense edge connectivity. Its PoE design is where this switch earns its place in a serious deployment. With 16 PoE+ ports and 8 PoE++ ports, it can support a mix of standard and higher-power devices from one chassis, reducing the need for injectors, extra cabling, and fragmented power planning. That matters in classrooms, offices, surveillance builds, and distributed enterprise spaces where clean installation and predictable power delivery are part of the design. As an L2+ managed switch, it gives network teams the control expected in structured deployments while keeping the access layer straightforward to operate. Compared with lower-cost switches that cap out at 1G or limited PoE, this model is built for environments that need more throughput, more power, and more room to grow.
