TP-Link TL-SX3016F JetStream 16-Port 10GE SFP+ L2+ Managed Switch

The TP-Link TL-SX3016F is a high-performance JetStream 16-port 10GE SFP+ L2+ Managed Switch for business networks that need fast fibre aggregation, reliable uptime, and advanced network control. Its 16 SFP+ slots support 10 Gbps fibre connectivity, making it suitable for connecting core switches, servers, NAS devices, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and high-bandwidth uplinks.

The switch delivers a non-blocking 320 Gbps switching capacity, 238.08 Mpps forwarding rate, 32K MAC address table, and support for 9 KB jumbo frames. It is built for 19-inch rack installation and includes dual redundant power supplies to help maintain network availability if one power supply fails.

Key Features and Benefits

16 Full 10G SFP+ Fibre Ports

All 16 ports are 10GE SFP+ slots, providing high-bandwidth fibre connectivity for aggregation, server connections, and high-speed uplinks. The switch is backward compatible with Gigabit fibre through suitable SFP modules, allowing gradual network upgrades.

L2+ Features and Static Routing

The TL-SX3016F supports 802.1Q VLANs, link aggregation with LACP, STP/RSTP/MSTP, loopback detection, port mirroring, and 802.3x flow control. It also provides static routing with up to 48 static routes, DHCP server and relay functions, and IPv4/IPv6 interfaces to help segment and route internal traffic efficiently.

Enterprise Security and Traffic Control

Security features include IP-MAC-Port Binding, ACLs, port security, DHCP Snooping, ARP inspection, storm control, DoS defence, and 802.1X authentication with RADIUS/TACACS+ support. Quality of Service features include eight priority queues, 802.1p CoS/DSCP priority, queue scheduling, and port or flow-based bandwidth control.

Dual Redundant Power Supplies

Two fixed AC power supplies back each other up, helping reduce the risk of downtime in business-critical networks. The switch is rack-mountable, has a durable metal casing, and includes one cooling fan.

Omada SDN and Standalone Management

The switch can be managed standalone through its web GUI, CLI via console, Telnet, or SSH, SNMP, and RMON. It also integrates with Omada Hardware, Software, or Cloud-Based Controllers for centralized monitoring, automatic device discovery, batch configuration, batch firmware upgrades, and unified configuration. Cloud access and Omada app management require a compatible Omada Controller; Zero-Touch Provisioning requires an Omada Cloud-Based Controller.

Compatibility and Important Details

The TL-SX3016F uses SFP+ fibre ports rather than RJ45 Ethernet ports, so it does not include PoE or built-in copper ports. To connect copper devices, you need compatible SFP+ modules such as 10GBASE-T RJ45 SFP+ transceivers. TP-Link recommends using a maximum of four TL-SM5310-T 10G RJ45 SFP+ modules, with one module per group of SFP+ slots.

SFP/SFP+ modules, direct-attach cables, and fibre patch cords are sold separately. Some advanced features may require the latest firmware, and L3 and ISP features are configurable only in standalone mode.

Who Should Consider This Product?

The TP-Link TL-SX3016F is suitable for businesses, campuses, ISPs, data rooms, and larger offices that need a reliable 10G fibre aggregation switch. Choose it if you need 16 SFP+ ports, static routing, enterprise security, redundant power, and Omada SDN integration in a rack-mountable managed switch.
