HP R8N89A 6000 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP 14-Port + 2-Port SFP L2 Switch

Description

The HP R8N89A is a versatile 12-port Gigabit Ethernet switch belonging to the HP 6000 series, designed to provide reliable network connectivity with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. This switch is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or specific departmental deployments where a limited number of ports are required, but the ability to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras is essential. It offers 12 x 1GbE ports, each supporting Class4 PoE (802.3af/at), allowing for simplified cabling by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Complementing the copper ports, the R8N89A includes 2 SFP uplink ports. These ports provide flexibility for connecting the switch to the rest of the network infrastructure, such as a core switch or router, using fiber optic or copper transceivers. This ensures high-speed and reliable connectivity to the wider network, preventing bottlenecks at the access layer. The switch operates at Layer 2, providing efficient forwarding of traffic within the local network segment. As a Layer 2 switch, the R8N89A supports fundamental networking features necessary for efficient operation, including VLANs for network segmentation and QoS for traffic prioritization. Its compact design makes it suitable for deployment in space-constrained environments, such as under desks or in small wiring closets. The HP R8N89A offers a cost-effective solution for organizations needing essential PoE and Gigabit connectivity in a manageable form factor.
