HPE CW 2050 24-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch with 4-Port 1G/2.5G SFP Uplinks, 420W, S6X72A#ABA

HPE CW 2050 24p 10/100/1000BT PoE+ 4p SFP 1G/2.5G 420W Switch

The HPE Networking CW 2050 24-Port PoE+ Switch, part number S6X72A#ABA, delivers reliable, high-performance connectivity for small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, and growing enterprise networks. It provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet access ports for computers, IP phones, cameras, wireless access points, and other network devices, along with four 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks for flexible, high-speed aggregation. With a 420W PoE budget and support for advanced powered devices, this managed Ethernet switch simplifies deployment by delivering data and power over a single network connection.

Enterprise-class performance and resilience

The HPE CW 2050 supports up to 116Gbps of switching capacity and up to 86 million packets per second for efficient, nonblocking traffic handling. Its four PoE++ 1G/2.5G ports can deliver up to 100W per port, providing additional flexibility for Wi-Fi 7 access points, video phones, IP cameras, and demanding IoT equipment. Two-switch Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking helps simplify administration while supporting high availability, Layer 2 switching continuity, and Layer 3 forwarding. Static routing, IPv6, and 6kV service-port surge protection further support dependable operation in challenging environments.

Simple management and comprehensive security

Deployment and monitoring are streamlined through the default web graphical user interface and embedded Smart Management Center dashboard. Network administrators can also use HPE Intelligent Management Center, command-line interface, SNMP, or REST APIs for centralized oversight and integration with existing tools. Security capabilities include IPv4 and IPv6 access control lists, VLAN and port-based policies, 802.1X, MAC, web, RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication, plus SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, and TLS encrypted management. Secure Boot, control-plane policing, ARP and DHCP protection, port security, source-port filtering, and private VLANs help protect network access and isolate traffic.
