Hello,


a friend needs a new 24-port switch and would like to gradually switch to Omada in the future.
Currently, an SG2428P or SG2428LP would be among the top choices and within the price range smiley
My friend isn't currently using any PoE devices, but two access points are expected soon.
Since the switch will be running 24/7, power consumption would be of interest to me.
Unfortunately, TP-Link provides no information about this on their website sad
I've done some research, but I'm wondering if that's true?

SG2428P use 15,6 Watts in Standby
SG2428LP use 8,9 Watts in Standby

Is this information correct?
Why does the SG2428P require 6.7 Watts more power without any PoE devices in use?
That's almost double the power consumption.
Why does it need so many more watts?

Thanks :)

In comparing the two models here, the SG2428P has 2 fans and the SG2428LP is fanless.  The SG2428P power supply must be larger as it can supply 250W PoE while the SG2428LP is only designed to handle 150W PoE.  Some 7 watts difference is not really that much power.

Hi  @lukass2000, the standby power consumption is show at datasheet, you may check at SG2428LP(UN)_V1_Datasheet | Omada Network SupportSG2428P(UN)_V5.30_Datasheet | Omada Network Support. SG2428LP use 8.9 Watts in Standby, SG2428P use 14.4 Watts in Standby, the difference is the the use different power supply module, standby power of SG2428P power module is higher. Also SG2428P have Fans also use power.

 

Anyway, back to the demand, if your friend don't need PoE output currently, but will need future, I think SG2428LP is more suitable, it is fanless and lower poe budget/ lower power consumption. It is good choice.
