This Cisco SG500-28 Ethernet Switch is a robust, scalable solution designed for growing businesses that demand secure, reliable networking without the complexity or price of enterprise-grade equipment. It combines true stackable capabilities with advanced security, quality of service (QoS), and Layer 3 switching to support a wide range of applications—from VoIP and video conferencing to data-intensive cloud services. With IPv6 readiness, energy-efficient design, and an intuitive web-based management interface, the SG500-28 helps small and mid-sized organizations deploy smarter networks that are easy to operate today and future-proof for tomorrow.

  • The Cisco SG500-28 is built for growth, delivering a stackable architecture that lets you scale your network by adding switches as your demand increases, all while preserving a simple management experience. With true stacking, you can consolidate multiple switches into a single logical unit, simplifying configuration, monitoring, and fault tolerance so that expansion doesn’t create management headaches or downtime. This makes it an ideal choice for expanding offices, retail environments, and branch networks where reliability and simplicity matter as much as performance.
  • Performance and efficiency are at the core of the SG500-28. It provides 28 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed on-site connectivity and supports advanced QoS to guarantee critical applications—such as voice, video, and business-critical data—receive the bandwidth and low latency they require. Layer 3 switching capabilities enable efficient routing between VLANs without sending traffic to external routers, which reduces congestion and improves overall network responsiveness. The device is designed to deliver consistent throughput in environments with mixed traffic, helping maintain smooth operations across departments and teams.
  • Security and policy enforcement are built into the SG500-28 to protect your data and users. The switch includes advanced security features such as access controls, VLAN segmentation, and flexible policy options that help prevent unauthorized access and limit exposure to threats. With fine-grained QoS, you can prioritize sensitive traffic (such as voice and video) while ensuring less-critical data does not overwhelm your network. This combination of security and performance makes the SG500-28 suitable for mid-size offices, healthcare clinics, and educational campuses that require reliable protection alongside robust networking capabilities.
  • Ease of management is a standout benefit. The SG500-28 offers a user-friendly web-based GUI complemented by CLI options for advanced administrators. This means you can configure, monitor, and adjust settings with minimal training, while still having access to deeper control when needed. Features like simple firmware updates, configuration templates, and intuitive health indicators help reduce administrative time and errors. Energy-efficient design and EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) support further reduce operating costs, making the SG500-28 not only powerful but also economical to run over the long term.
  • Versatility and reliability define the SG500-28 as a practical, long-term networking solution. Its IPv6 support ensures compatibility with modern and future networks, while its robust hardware architecture and stacking capabilities enable you to design resilient networks with redundant paths and simplified maintenance. Whether you’re upgrading a small corporate LAN, equipping a multi-floor office, or provisioning network access for a retail chain, the SG500-28 delivers a flexible foundation that adapts to evolving workloads and business requirements while staying within budget.

Ok, but don’t use hand cream
Color: Black, Color: Black
I like the case for its ability to house the keyboard, the pencil and the iPad in one convenient place. I find that the magnetic closure and magnets holding the keyboard are not as strong as a previous case I had purchased. The keyboard is great, I like the touchpad and the backlight colors. The cover material is not hand lotion friendly! I’ve tried water and lens cleaning wipes, and neither gets this cover clean. I hesitate to use any chemicals because the material is the type that will get sticky and nasty, and I don’t like that. I’ve included a photo of what the cover looks like after using a lens cleaning wipe. If the magnets were stronger and the cover material easier to clean, I would buy again.

great case!
Color: Navy Blue
pros; the color is beautiful. I picked the navy blue. It is exactly as the description described. It goes very well with my blue iPad. The size is very precise and fits perfectly on my iPad. The magnet that holds the case together is very strong. The iPad itself can pivot vertically and horizontally using that magnet. This works very smooth. The magnet closure for the case itself is strong and holds well. The magnet that holds the keyboard in place also works very well. Cons; when the keyboard is in its correct position, it is difficult to angle the iPad in front into the provided grooves. The keyboard gets into the way. This prevents the iPad from reaching the grooves provided. The keyboard feels very light and cheap. The keyboard itself connected with the Bluetooth very easily. It works wonderful. I love the back light on the keyboard. The color of the keyboard is wonderful. However, as I said above, it does feel a bit cheap. But for 20 bucks, what can you ask for. When the case is folded together with the keyboard in the iPad, it is a bit bulky. But I knew that from the previous reviews and was expecting it. What I love most about this case is that the iPad can be removed using the magnet on the back from the keyboard portion, but it is still protected by the exterior plastic case. So in situations where I don’t need to use my keyboard, I can remove the iPad itself and know that it’s still protected overall I recommend this product.

Nice Case & Keyboard
Color: Blue
Love this case with a keyboard. I like using the keyboard vs using one on the screen of iPad. And the keyboard has rechargeable batteries instead of having to buy batteries. And it protects my iPad.

Beautiful, and everything I want it except that the keyboard keys didn’t work😭
Color: Light Pink
I searched and search for the right keyboard case for me. The most important thing for me was to be able to remove the iPad case itself from the whole case and keyboard, and this one was it. Unfortunately, when I started checking the keyboard a lot of The keys were not output in the correct symbol or letters. So defeats the whole purpose of having a keyboard. I returned it and asked for a replacement, thinking that the item was defected, but when I got the New replacement, it was the same thing so I tried to contact the seller, but there was no option to do that. Therefore, I had to return the second replacement keyboard and look for another keyboard cover.

Great quality at a remarkable price
Color: Navy Blue
I got an iPad and was looking for a cover to protect it. I came across this case that has a Bluetooth keyboard. It seems to be working great. It was less than $30 and had 4.5 stars with over 4k reviews. The keyboard is magnetic and detachable, so I’ve got lots of configuration options. The keyboard pairs easily and allows you to use the iPad like a laptop. The point of an iPad a lot in one shot is kind of the touchscreen, but when I’m typing a lot of text as once (like now), it’s really nice to have a physical keyboard and touchpad. The keys are comfortably spaced and I’m comfortable typing on it. There is no additional setup for the keyboard besides pairing it to the iPad. At that point, all the cursor and keyboard features are immediately available. The case is well built and has nice features like a slot to hold a stylus and multiple grooves to set your viewing angle. It’s configured to be used in landscape mode, but if for some reason you wanted to use it in portrait mode, you can pop the keyboard off to lay it flat. Especially for the price, this is an exceptionally nice iPad cover.
