HP JD376A#ABA 5500-48G-PoE 48-Port + 4-Port SFP Layer 3 Switch

Product Description

The HP JD376A#ABA, part of the 5500 series, is a high-performance, fully managed Layer 3 switch designed for demanding enterprise network infrastructures. It boasts 48 auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing high-speed connectivity for a large number of end devices such as workstations, IP phones, and wireless access points. Crucially, all 48 ports support Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the switch to simultaneously provide network connectivity and electrical power to compatible devices, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling complexity. In addition to its extensive copper port density, the switch is equipped with four SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) slots. These slots are designed for high-speed uplink connections to core network switches or other network segments, offering flexibility and scalability. The Layer 3 capabilities of the JD376A#ABA enable it to perform advanced routing functions, allowing for efficient inter-VLAN routing and network segmentation, which is essential for managing traffic flow and enhancing network security in larger organizations. As a managed switch, the HP JD376A#ABA offers a comprehensive suite of features for network administration, including Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, robust security features like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security, and advanced monitoring capabilities. Its combination of high port density, PoE support, Layer 3 routing, and extensive management features makes it a powerful solution for enterprise core, distribution, or high-density access layer deployments.
