The Omada ES228GP is a 28-port Gigabit Easy Managed switch with twenty-four PoE+ ports sharing a 250 W budget, a compact-depth rack fit for a camera and AP install where the total PoE draw stays under 250 W. Two SFP slots handle fiber uplinks.

Built for mid-size camera and wireless installs

Twenty-four ports deliver 802.3af/at PoE+ at up to 30 W each, but the 250 W budget is shared, so size the job by total draw. Two more RJ45 ports and two Gigabit SFP slots cover data and uplinks. Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE keep devices up through a reboot, and PoE reach extends to 250 m at a reduced 10 Mbps link. It has one fan, rated 12.1 to 35.5 dBA at 1 m.

Key features

  • 24 PoE+ ports, 250 W total: 802.3af/at at up to 30 W per port for cameras, APs and phones
  • 2 Gigabit SFP slots plus 2 data ports: fiber uplinks or links to a recorder and a second switch
  • Fast PoE and Perpetual PoE: devices power up early and stay powered through a switch reboot
  • PoE reach to 250 m: long camera runs at a reduced 10 Mbps link speed
  • 1U rack mount, 7.1 in deep: brackets and screws included, with a physical security lock slot

System requirements

Powered from a 100-240V AC outlet with the included power cord. Powered devices must be 802.3af or 802.3at compliant. The SFP slots need separate Gigabit SFP modules. Centralized management needs an Omada Cloud-Based, Hardware or Software Controller on built-in version 6.1.0 or later; zero-touch provisioning needs the cloud controller. Without a controller the switch runs standalone from its web interface.

FAQs

How many ports on the ES228GP have PoE?
Twenty-four. They are 802.3af/at PoE+ at up to 30 W per port, sharing a 250 W budget. The two other RJ45 ports and the two SFP slots carry data only.
What is the difference from the ES228GMP?
Same port layout. The ES228GP has a 250 W PoE budget, one fan and a 7.1 in deep case, while the ES228GMP has a 384 W budget, two fans and a 13.0 in deep case.
Is the fan loud?
The datasheet lists noise from 12.1 dBA to 35.5 dBA at 1 m with one fan, depending on fan speed. Check the closet location if it is near a work area.
Does it need an Omada controller?
No. It runs standalone from its web interface. A controller adds centralized management, and the cloud controller adds zero-touch provisioning.
Does it include SFP modules?
No. The package has the switch, power cord, mounting brackets, mounting feet, screws and guide. Buy Gigabit SFP modules separately.
