J998A HP 1820-48G 48-Port Rackmountable Network Switch

HP 1820-48G J998A

HP's 1820-48G, part number J998A, is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch that brings smart-managed switching for small businesses to office networks that are expanding and need room for more users, devices and network services. The series is designed for smart-managed switching for small businesses.

With 48 ports running at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, it has plenty of capacity for users, devices and uplinks. Because it follows Ethernet standards, it works alongside equipment from other manufacturers. Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks. Use Cat5e or better cabling to get full Gigabit performance on every copper port.

Full management capabilities let your IT team tune performance, enforce policies and monitor every port. Management is based on Web-based management (smart managed), a platform familiar to network engineers. Diagnostic features help engineers trace faults and analyze traffic without extra hardware. Switches like this form the backbone of everyday network communication, linking users to applications, storage and the internet. Labeling patch cables and documenting port assignments makes future moves, adds and changes much faster. VLAN segmentation isolates sensitive systems from general user traffic.

Its rack-mountable form factor fits neatly into equipment rooms, cabinets or workspaces. Mount it where air can circulate freely to support long service life. It is a practical building block for an office network that needs to be dependable without constant attention. The HP J998A gives small businesses room to add users, phones, printers and access points as the team grows. The J998A fits well in small server rooms and network cabinets. For anyone sourcing HP Gigabit Ethernet switching, the J998A combines HP engineering with practical, everyday performance.
