HP J9471-61301 3500-24-PoE 24-Port + 4-Port SFP Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The HP 3500-24-PoE Switch (J9471-61301) is a high-performance, fully managed Layer 3 switch engineered to meet the demands of modern enterprise networks. It provides 24 Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled Fast Ethernet ports, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of data and electrical power to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for these devices, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling clutter. Complementing the 24 Fast Ethernet ports are four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) uplink ports, offering flexible and high-speed connectivity to network backbones or other switches. These SFP ports support various transceiver types, enabling administrators to tailor network connections to specific bandwidth and distance requirements. As a Layer 3 switch, the J9471-61301 supports static and dynamic routing protocols, enabling intelligent traffic management, network segmentation through VLANs, and improved network performance by offloading routing tasks from the core network. This switch is designed for ease of use and robust management, featuring a comprehensive set of network management tools. It supports Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic, robust security features to protect the network, and advanced diagnostics. Its rack-mountable form factor ensures seamless integration into standard data center or network closet environments, making it a versatile solution for businesses seeking reliable, scalable, and feature-rich network infrastructure.
