The three Teltonika SWM28x switches share the same core design: 24 Gigabit ports, 4 SFP uplinks, Layer 2 management with Layer 3 features. The only real decision is power. The SWM281 has no PoE ($237.00), the SWM280 powers 12 ports ($370.00), and the SWM282 powers all 24 ($389.00) — all sold new by Resilient Tec. Here's how to size it.

Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika SWM281 (SWM281), a 24-port Gigabit managed switch with 4 SFP, no PoE, for $237.00. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika SWM280 (SWM280), a 24-port Gigabit managed switch with 12 PoE+ ports and 4 SFP, for $370.00. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika SWM282 (SWM282), a 24-port PoE+ managed switch with 4 SFP and a 300 W budget, for $389.00. Prices checked October 26, 2026.
The three side by side
| SWM281 | SWM280 | SWM282 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price at Resilient Tec | $237.00 | $370.00 | $389.00 |
| Gigabit RJ45 ports | 24 | 24 | 24 |
| PoE+ ports | None | 12 | 24 |
| Total PoE budget | — | 300 W | 300 W |
| Max per PoE port | — | 30 W | 30 W |
| SFP uplinks | 4 | 4 | 4 |
All three support VLANs, 802.1X, QoS, STP/RSTP, loop protection and port mirroring, offer PROFINET by order code, and can be managed alongside Teltonika routers in RMS.
How to size the PoE budget
Two numbers matter: per-port and total. PoE (802.3af) devices draw up to 15.4 W at the switch and PoE+ (802.3at) devices up to 30 W — both supported. But the total is capped at 300 W on both PoE models.
- SWM280: 300 W across 12 ports is 25 W per port on average — enough to run nearly every PoE port near full PoE+ draw.
- SWM282: 300 W across 24 ports averages 12.5 W per port. That suits many lower-draw devices; it won't run 24 high-draw devices at once.
Total your devices' rated draw from their datasheets, add headroom, and compare against 300 W. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika SWM282 (SWM282), a 24-port PoE+ managed switch with 4 SFP and a 300 W budget, for $389.00.
Which one to buy
- Nothing needs power — aggregation, office desks, servers: SWM281. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika SWM281 (SWM281), a 24-port Gigabit managed switch with 4 SFP, no PoE, for $237.00.
- A mix of powered and unpowered devices, with high-draw ones — SWM280: half the ports powered, with budget to spare. Resilient Tec sells the Teltonika SWM280 (SWM280), a 24-port Gigabit managed switch with 12 PoE+ ports and 4 SFP, for $370.00.
- Many lower-draw powered devices — SWM282. At $19.00 more than the SWM280, it's the better buy whenever you might outgrow 12 powered ports.
Uplinks
The 4 SFP ports take fiber or copper SFP modules for runs between closets and buildings. Pair the switch with a Teltonika router such as the RUT951 or RUTX11 for cellular backup at the edge.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Teltonika SWM280, SWM281 and SWM282?
All three are 24-port Gigabit managed switches with 4 SFP ports. The SWM281 has no PoE ($237.00); the SWM280 has 12 PoE+ ports ($370.00); the SWM282 has 24 PoE+ ports ($389.00). Both PoE models share a 300 W budget. All three are sold new by Resilient Tec. Prices checked October 26, 2026.
Can the SWM282 power all 24 ports at 30 W?
No. Each port can deliver up to 30 W, but the total budget is 300 W, which averages 12.5 W per port across all 24. Add up your devices' actual draw before planning.
Should I buy the SWM280 or the SWM282?
At Resilient Tec the SWM282 costs $19.00 more than the SWM280 for twice the PoE ports on the same 300 W budget. Choose the SWM280 if 12 powered ports covers you with room to spare; otherwise the SWM282.
