Aggregated specification data for the TL-SG1428PE lists a 1U rack-mountable chassis housing a Realtek-based chipset architecture. Performance metrics demonstrate a total Power over Ethernet budget of 250W across 24 ports, supporting 802.3at (PoE+) standards. Technical analysis confirms the presence of a dual-fan cooling system that adjusts rotation speeds based on the thermal load generated by the PoE controllers.
Network management features include 802.1Q VLAN tagging for the isolation of IoT segments, though the device does not support centralized cloud-based SDN controllers. Connectivity specifications list 26 RJ45 gigabit ports alongside 2 SFP slots, with the SFP ports restricted to 1Gbps throughput. Material analysis identifies a standard steel enclosure with included hardware for rack integration.
Functional highlights of the architecture include:
- High-Density PoE Delivery supporting 24 active ports.
- Layer 2 Management via web-based interface.
- Physical integration into standard 19-inch racks.
For installations requiring an integrated rack-mount form factor and 250W of power, the TP-Link TL-SG1428PE offers significantly higher port density than compact desktop alternatives.
This unit represents a high-capacity option within the smart ethernet switches category, functioning as a central backbone for large-scale device connectivity.
