JC104A HP A5800-48G-PoE 48-Ports Layer-3 Managed Rackmountable Network Switch

HP A5800-48G-PoE JC104A

Upgrade your network with the HP A5800-48G-PoE (JC104A), a 48-port managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet PoE switch designed for virtualized server farms, private clouds and storage networks that need low latency and high bandwidth. The product line is engineered for high-performance aggregation and data center switching.

With 48 ports running at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, it has plenty of capacity for users, devices and uplinks. Integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers power and data over a single Ethernet cable to VoIP handsets, Wi-Fi access points and security cameras, so you need fewer power outlets and adapters. For best results, pair the Gigabit ports with Cat5e or higher-grade cabling. Cabled connections avoid the interference and congestion that can affect wireless networks.

Full management capabilities let your IT team tune performance, enforce policies and monitor every port. Layer 3 capability enables routing between VLANs on the switch, reducing load on your router and lowering latency. Management is based on Comware, a platform familiar to network engineers. Every port provides a dedicated connection, so devices do not compete for a shared medium. Email, file sharing, voice and video all depend on stable switching underneath. Traffic prioritization ensures real-time applications get the bandwidth they need. Loop prevention with spanning tree allows redundant cabling without broadcast storms. Intelligent frame forwarding avoids flooding every port and keeps bandwidth available for real work.

The rack-mountable design makes installation straightforward in its intended location. The JC104A provides the bandwidth that today's virtual machines, containers and storage platforms demand. Whether you are building a new network or replacing an existing unit, the JC104A delivers HP E 5800/5900 switching that fits the job.
