    TL-SL5428 Overview The TL-SL5428 is a Fast Ethernet switch with 24 10/100BASE-TX ports and four Gigabit combination ports1 that are comprised of an RJ-45 port and an SFP transceiver slot. The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports services

    description of the advanced features, refer to the Management Guide. Description of Hardware 10/100BASE-T Ports The TL-SL5428 contains 24 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex. The ports all support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight

    manually. Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated. SFP Slots The TL-SL5428 The TL-SL5428 includes a display panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation and network troubleshooting.

    by a maximum hop count. However, a switch turns the hop count back to zero. So subdividing the network into smaller and more manageable segments, and linking them to the larger network by means of a switch, removes this limitation. A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or

    APPLICATION EXAMPLES Network Aggregation Plan With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the TL-SL5428 switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. In the figure below, the 10/100BASE-TX
  • TP-Link TL-SL5428 | Installation Guide - Page 22
    Cable Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to 100 km. This allows the Switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct
  • TP-Link TL-SL5428 | Installation Guide - Page 23
    to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links. This switch also supports multiple spanning trees which allow VLAN groups to maintain a more stable path between all VLAN members. This can reduce the overall amount

As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched link should not exceed: • 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber.
