TP-Link ES228GP Omada 28-Port Gigabit Easy Managed Switch with 24-Port PoE+

Gigabit PoE+ for Growing Business and Camera Networks

The TP-Link ES228GP combines 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports, two additional Gigabit RJ45 ports and two Gigabit SFP slots in a rack-mountable metal switch. Its 250 W PoE budget supports compatible access points, IP cameras and other powered devices, while Omada integration brings configuration and monitoring into a central management interface.

Highlights

Power and connectivity

• 24 IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ ports, with up to 30 W per port within the shared 250 W budget.
• Two non-PoE Gigabit RJ45 ports and two Gigabit SFP slots for uplink connections.

Practical network control

• 802.1Q VLANs, static link aggregation, port isolation and IGMP snooping.
• Standalone web management or centralised management with a compatible Omada controller.

Deployment and maintenance

• Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE support quicker device power-up and continued power during switch software restarts.
• Desktop or rack installation with a metal enclosure and one cooling fan.

Key Features

A shared 250 W PoE budget

Supply compatible IEEE 802.3af/at devices through their network cables, reducing the need for separate adapters at each endpoint. Plan the combined load within the 250 W budget and the 30 W limit per PoE port.

Separate copper and fibre uplinks

Keep uplink capacity available with two dedicated non-PoE RJ45 ports and two Gigabit SFP slots alongside the 24 PoE+ access ports. Compatible SFP modules and fibre cables are purchased separately.

Centralised Omada management

Use a compatible Omada hardware, software or cloud-based controller for device discovery, configuration and firmware management. Cloud access and app functions require the appropriate controller deployment; zero-touch provisioning requires Omada Central.

Traffic separation and prioritisation

Create VLANs to separate device groups, use port isolation where needed and combine suitable links with static aggregation. QoS and storm control help manage competing traffic, with available controls depending on the management mode.

PoE tools for surveillance networks

Extend-mode PoE supports cable runs up to 250 m on supported ports, with link speed reduced to 10 Mbps and actual reach dependent on cabling. Standalone PoE Auto Recovery and controller-based remote PoE recovery help restore unresponsive powered devices.

Straightforward rack installation

The 440 × 180 × 44 mm chassis supports desktop and rack mounting. Included mounting brackets, screws and rubber feet support installation, while the V2 design uses a single cooling fan.

Summary

ES228GP suits offices, shops and surveillance installations that need 24 PoE+ access ports, flexible Gigabit uplinks and manageable network segmentation. Its centralised management options and practical PoE features help simplify deployment and ongoing maintenance.

TP-Link ES228GP Omada 28-Port Gigabit Easy Managed Switch with 24-Port PoE+

The TP-Link ES228GP is an Omada easy managed switch with 26 Gigabit RJ45 interfaces and two Gigabit SFP slots. Twenty-four RJ45 ports supply IEEE 802.3af/at PoE with a shared 250 W budget. The V2 design provides 56 Gbps switching capacity, one cooling fan and a rack-mountable metal enclosure. It supports standalone web configuration and compatible Omada controller deployments for centralised management, with selected functions depending on the management mode.
