Detailed Specifications

The HPE S0F35A is a member of the Instant On 1960 series, a family of smart-managed, stackable network switches designed for evolving small and medium-sized businesses. It serves as a high-performance access layer switch, engineered to handle demanding network loads in environments that require robust connectivity for a mix of standard and high-bandwidth devices. This switch is built to solve network bottlenecks by providing multi-gigabit speeds and a substantial Power over Ethernet budget, making it ideal for connecting modern wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other IoT endpoints. This model's technical advantage lies in its versatile port configuration and high-power PoE capabilities. It features four 2.5G Ethernet ports that support PoE++ (802.3bt Class 6), delivering up to 60W per port to power next-generation devices. This is complemented by eight standard Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ (802.3at Class 4) and a total power budget of 480W across all ports. Uplink flexibility is provided by dedicated 10G ports, including two 10GBASE-T for copper connections and two 10G SFP+ slots for high-speed fiber links, ensuring ample bandwidth for data backhaul to the network core. Built for both operational simplicity and scalability, the S0F35A fits seamlessly into a standard 1U rack space. Management is exceptionally flexible, offering the choice between a local web GUI for standalone configuration or the intuitive HPE Instant On cloud portal and mobile app for centralized control of multiple sites and devices. True stacking technology allows up to four 1960 series switches to be physically linked and managed as a single logical unit, simplifying administration and providing a clear path for future network expansion without increasing management complexity.
