Expand multi-gigabit access capacity with 24 2.5GBASE-T RJ45 ports for Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points, high-performance desktops, NAS connectivity, and other copper endpoints. Four 10 GbE SFP+ slots provide fiber or direct-attach uplinks to a distribution switch, core, server, or storage environment. The port mix concentrates high-density 2.5 GbE edge connectivity and 10 GbE aggregation in a 1U rack-mounted chassis. TP-Link Omada SG3428X-M2 supplies Layer 2+ switching functions for segmented business networks. VLANs separate user, voice, guest, camera, and management traffic; access control lists apply traffic policies at the switch; QoS prioritizes latency-sensitive flows; and static routing supports communication between defined IP networks without sending every routed flow to an external router. Link aggregation, spanning-tree functions, multicast controls, and loop protection help administrators build redundant access-layer connections. Omada SDN management lets administrators bring the switch into a centrally managed Omada environment alongside compatible network infrastructure. The four 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks preserve uplink capacity when many 2.5 GbE ports are active, while the 24 copper ports avoid the need for separate media adapters at the edge. This configuration is suited to access-layer refreshes where 1 GbE switching has become a bottleneck but PoE is not required from the switch.
