Quick Glance
Key Features
16 or 24 PoE+ ports
ES220GMP has 16 PoE+ RJ45 ports and ES228GMP has 24, all 802.3af and 802.3at compliant with up to 30 W per port. The budget is 250 W on ES220GMP and 384 W on ES228GMP. Fast PoE, Perpetual PoE, PoE Auto Recovery and up to 250 m PoE transmission distance are listed.
Extra RJ45 and SFP ports
Both models add 2× 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports and 2× Gigabit SFP slots to the PoE+ ports, all with Auto-Negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX. Switching capacity is 40 Gbps on ES220GMP and 56 Gbps on ES228GMP. Both are rackmountable, include mounting brackets and screws, and have 2 fans.
Omada Easy Managed
The Omada App and Cloud Access are listed for both models, and they require an Omada Hardware Controller, Cloud-Based Controller or Software Controller. Zero-Touch Provisioning requires the Cloud-Based Controller. QoS with 8 priority queues, 802.1Q VLAN with up to 32 groups, IGMP Snooping and link aggregation are also listed.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications are taken from TP-Link's UAE product page for each model (hardware version V1). Where a figure differs between the two switches it is shown per model. Rows that TP-Link does not list are left out rather than assumed, and no weight is stated.
Need-to-Know
ES220GMP suits smaller PoE+ installs with 16 powered ports and a 250 W budget. ES228GMP gives 24 powered ports and a 384 W budget, and is deeper at 330 mm. Choose by how many PoE devices you run and their combined power draw.
- The PoE budget is shared across all PoE+ ports. Add up the rated draw of the devices you plan to power and keep it within 250 W (ES220GMP) or 384 W (ES228GMP).
- TP-Link marks the 250 m PoE transmission distance and PoE Auto Recovery with footnotes that are not in our source. Check TP-Link's product page for the conditions.
- Both models list 2 fans, so they are not fanless. The Omada App, Cloud Access and Zero-Touch Provisioning need an Omada controller, and Zero-Touch Provisioning needs the Cloud-Based Controller.
