HP JE094AR E5500 E5500-48G-PoE 48x RJ45 Port PoE 4x SFP Port L4 Switch

Product Description

The HP E5500-48G-PoE (JE094AR) is a robust and feature-rich switch designed to meet the stringent demands of enterprise networks. It boasts 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, each capable of delivering Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to the IEEE 802.3af standard, making it ideal for powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras directly through the network cable. This simplifies infrastructure and reduces the need for local power outlets. Complementing the copper ports are four SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) slots, which provide high-speed uplink capabilities, allowing for seamless integration with core network infrastructure or connection to other switches in a stack. Operating at Layer 4, this switch offers advanced traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. It can classify and prioritize traffic based on application type, ensuring that critical services like voice and video receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency. This is crucial for maintaining performance in converged networks where multiple types of traffic share the same infrastructure. The E5500 series also incorporates comprehensive security features, including Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security, to protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. Designed for scalability and high availability, the JE094AR supports stacking, allowing multiple switches to be managed as a single logical unit, thus expanding port density and simplifying network management. The option for redundant power supplies further enhances reliability, minimizing downtime in mission-critical environments. With its combination of high port density, PoE support, advanced traffic control, and robust security, the HP E5500-48G-PoE is a powerful solution for the access layer of enterprise networks.
