4.1 Ethernet Ports
The Switch has 24 10/100Mbps and 4 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiating, auto-crossover
Ethernet ports, which can be directly connected to the network devices by RJ45 cable as the
following figure shown.

4.2 SFP Ports
The Switch features two SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceiver slots that are shared with
two associated 1000Base-T RJ45 ports. If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed
in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ45 port will be disabled and cannot be
used.
Tips:
TL-SL5428E supports 100/1000Base-FX SFP module at full-duplex mode.
