HPE CW 2050 24-Port Managed Ethernet Switch with Smart Rate 2.5GbE and SFP Uplinks, S6X69A#ABA

The HPE Networking CW 2050 Switch Series provides reliable, secure, and scalable connectivity for small and medium-sized businesses, branch offices, and demanding network environments. The HPE CW 2050 20p 10/100/1000BASE-T 4p Smart Rate 1/2.5GbE 4p SFP 1G/2.5G Switch, part number S6X69A#ABA, combines 20 Gigabit Ethernet access ports with four Smart Rate ports and four SFP uplinks for flexible wired network deployment. As a fully managed and stackable Ethernet switch, it supports uninterrupted data transmission, centralized administration, and structured network growth.

Designed for enterprise-class performance, the CW 2050 supports up to 116 Gbps of switching capacity and up to 86 million packets per second. Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking enables simplified management and high availability, while Layer 3 static routing and IPv6 support help accommodate expanding network architectures. Four built-in 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks provide nonblocking connectivity to aggregation switches, servers, or other network devices. Industry-leading 6 kV service-port surge protection helps reduce risks in challenging environments, including construction and industrial sites.

Management is accessible through a default web GUI and embedded CW dashboard, allowing straightforward deployment and monitoring without extensive networking expertise. Advanced administrators can use HPE Intelligent Management Center, command-line interface, SNMP, or REST APIs to integrate the switch with existing tools and workflows. Comprehensive security features include IPv4 and IPv6 access control lists, VLAN and port-based policies, 802.1X authentication, MAC and web authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, TLS, Secure Boot, private VLANs, ARP and DHCP protection, port security, and control-plane policing.

The HPE CW 2050 is equipped with an internal power supply and supports twisted-pair cabling for dependable local area network connections. It is a practical choice for workgroups requiring managed Gigabit Ethernet, flexible uplink options, Layer 3 capabilities, and centralized operational control. The switch is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and delivers the performance, security, and manageability required for modern business networks.
