HPE CW 2150 8-Port Layer 3 Managed Ethernet Switch with PoE and SFP+ Uplinks

HPE CW 2150 8p 10M/100M/1G 2p SFP 1G 2p SFP+ 1G/10G Switch

The HPE CW 2150 Switch Series offers enterprise-class, fully managed, stackable Layer 3 switching designed for small to midsize businesses and branch offices. This versatile switch series balances affordability with high performance, providing reliable connectivity and advanced management features to support expanding network demands. Available in models with 8, 16, 24, and 48 ports, the CW 2150 ensures flexible deployment options tailored to your network size and requirements. Each model supports up to 770W of Class 4 PoE, enabling power delivery to connected devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. The switches feature four 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks (with the 24-port model adding SFP combo ports and the 8-port model offering two 1G SFP and two 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks), providing high-speed backbone connections and network expansion capabilities. With nonblocking bandwidth reaching up to 176 Gbps and forwarding rates of 130 Mpps, the CW 2150 series ensures smooth data flow and minimal latency even during peak traffic periods. Advanced features include support for IPv6, dynamic Layer 3 routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF, and Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing critical traffic. Its fanless design in select models enhances energy efficiency and reduces noise, making it suitable for quiet office environments. The series supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), helping lower power consumption without sacrificing performance. Management is straightforward via web GUI, CLI, Smart Management Center (SmartMC) dashboard, HPE IMC, SNMP, and REST APIs, providing comprehensive control and monitoring options. Built-in 6 kV surge protection enhances durability in demanding environments, including construction sites or outdoor installations. The CW 2150 switches ensure network resilience with up to nine-unit IRF stacking, enabling seamless expansion and redundancy. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support simplifies device deployment by delivering power and data over a single cable, reducing cable clutter and installation costs. The devices support standard twisted pair Ethernet cabling, facilitating cost-effective and straightforward network extensions. Designed with a robust power supply and support for structured traffic management, the HPE CW 2150 series is an ideal choice for organizations seeking reliable, scalable, and secure network infrastructure that can grow with their business needs.
