HPE CW 2050 48-port Ethernet Switch with PoE+ and SFP Uplinks

HPE CW 2050 48p 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ 4p SFP 1G/2.5G 410W Switch

The HPE CW 2050 series Ethernet Switch is a reliable and scalable networking solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses and branch offices. Featuring 48 Ethernet ports, this switch supports high-performance data transmission and can accommodate large wired network configurations. Its Gigabit Ethernet uplinks deliver higher data rates compared to standard connections, ensuring efficient network traffic flow. The switch supports Layer 2 switching with 116Gbps switching capacity and up to 86 million packets per second, providing enterprise-class performance in a compact form factor. Its IRF stacking capability allows up to two switches to be combined, simplifying management and increasing network resilience. Built-in surge protection technology helps mitigate risks associated with power surges, making it suitable for demanding environments. The switch's PoE+ model provides up to 410W total power budget, with four ports supporting PoE++ delivering up to 100W each, ideal for powering WiFi 7 access points, IP cameras, and other IoT devices without external power adapters. The fanless design on the non-PoE model ensures silent operation, suitable for noise-sensitive environments. Management is simplified through a default web GUI, SmartMC dashboard, CLI, SNMP, and REST API, enabling easy integration with existing network management systems. The device also features cascade and stack ports for expanding network topology and interconnecting multiple switches seamlessly. With support for IPv6 and static Layer 3 routing, this switch offers future-proof features to meet evolving network requirements. Its robust construction, industry-leading surge protection, and flexible management make the HPE CW 2050 series an ideal choice for expanding and securing business networks with ease.
