SG3218XP-M2 — TP-Link Omada 16-Port 2.5G L2+ Managed Switch with 4 PoE++, 12 PoE+ and 2 10G SFP+
The TP-Link Omada SG3218XP-M2 is an L2+ managed switch with 16 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports and two 10G SFP+ slots. 4 ports supply PoE++ (802.3bt, up to 90 W) and 12 supply PoE+ (802.3at, up to 30 W), from a 240 W total budget. It has two cooling fans and fits a 19-inch rack (1U).
What the SG3218XP-M2 is for
It suits multi-gig Wi-Fi and high-power PoE devices: Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points that need more than gigabit, PTZ cameras and other PoE++ loads, powered over the data cable. Add up the draw of your devices against the 240 W budget before you choose. See our PoE switch guide and range of fully managed switches.
As a TP-Link Omada switch the SG3218XP-M2 can be managed centrally from an Omada Hardware, Software or Cloud-Based Controller and the Omada App, or standalone through its own web interface.

What you will need
A 19-inch rack or cabinet (or a shelf, using the rubber feet), network cable for each device, SFP+ modules or DAC cables for the 10G slots, such as the SM5110-SR (multi-mode), SM5110-LR (single-mode), SM5220-1M DAC or SM5310-T (10GBASE-T), and an Omada controller such as the OC200 or OC300 if you want central management.
Buying from Zenith Security Co.
We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the SG3218XP-M2 with you before you buy, including the PoE budget against your cameras or access points, and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.
Does the SG3218XP-M2 support PoE?
Yes. 4 ports are PoE++ (802.3bt, up to 90 W) and 12 are PoE+ (802.3at, up to 30 W).
What is the PoE budget of the SG3218XP-M2?
240 W in total, shared across the 16 PoE ports.
Is the SG3218XP-M2 Omada compatible, and does it need a controller?
It is a TP-Link Omada switch and works with Omada Hardware, Software or Cloud-Based Controllers. A controller is optional: it can also be managed standalone through the web GUI or CLI.
Can the SG3218XP-M2 route between VLANs?
It supports 48 IPv4/IPv6 static routes and IP interfaces, so it can route between VLANs using static routes. For RIP or OSPF see the SG5 Lite L3 models.
What SFP modules does the SG3218XP-M2 take?
Its two SFP+ slots take 10G SFP+ modules or DAC cables, such as the SM5110-SR, SM5110-LR or SM5220-1M. Check TP-Link's Omada compatibility list or send us your fibre type and distance.
