24-Port Multi-Gig PoE++ Switch

The ZyXEL XMG2230-28HP delivers 24 multi-gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE++ support and four gigabit expansion slots. It is built for networks that need high-density powered connections for wireless access points, cameras or IoT devices. Layer 3 routing capability allows traffic segmentation without a separate router. The 1440 W PoE budget covers demanding multi-device deployments.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The 1440 W PoE budget remains available across all 24 ports during continuous operation. Multi-gigabit speeds of 2.5G and 10G maintain throughput on twisted-pair links under heavy traffic. Optical-fiber uplinks at 10GBase-X and 1000Base-X provide stable backbone capacity. Layer 3 processing handles routing tables and ACLs without degrading forwarding performance.

Practical Interface Limits

Twisted-pair cabling supports 2.5GBase-T and 10GBase-T up to 100 metres per segment. Fibre uplinks using 10GBase-X or 1000Base-X extend reach beyond copper limits. The four expansion slots accept gigabit modules only, not additional multi-gigabit ports. Total powered-device draw cannot exceed the 1440 W budget across all PoE++ ports.

Questions about this item

How much heat or fan noise does the 1440 W PoE budget generate when all 24 multi-gig ports run continuously?

The 1440 W PoE budget means the switch must dissipate significant heat under full load; built-in fans will ramp up to maintain safe temperatures, producing audible airflow in a quiet room.

Which SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables must I already own to use the four 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots?

The four expansion slots accept standard SFP+ modules for 10GBase-X or 1000Base-X connections; you need compatible SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables matching your fibre or copper link distance.

Will the 2.5GBase-T ports auto-negotiate down to 1 Gbps for older Cat5e cabling and legacy devices I keep?

Yes, each multi-gig port supports 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps speeds, so existing Cat5e runs and 1 Gbps gear will connect at their maximum negotiated rate.
