JE088A HP E5500-24G 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 Rack-Mountable Manageable Network Switch

HP E5500-24G JE088A

Upgrade your network with the HP E5500-24G (JE088A), a 24-port managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for enterprise access layers, branch offices and wiring closets that connect hundreds of users and devices. It belongs to a family built for enterprise access and aggregation switching.

With 24 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.

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. Each switched port gives a connected device its own dedicated link instead of sharing bandwidth as on an old-style hub.

Physically, it uses a rack-mountable format for a clean, organized installation. Typical locations include wiring closets serving offices, classrooms and clinical areas. It is a cost-effective way to add capacity without redesigning the rest of your network. A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. Use the manufacturer part number JE088A to make sure you order exactly the configuration you need. Enterprise features help underpin voice, wireless and security initiatives. In an access layer role it connects end users, while uplinks carry aggregated traffic to the distribution or core layer. Choose the HP JE088A when you need a 24-port managed Gigabit Ethernet switch you can rely on.
