HPE JG242A

FlexFabric 5800-48G-PoE+ Ethernet Switch (48×1 GbE PoE+ + 4×10 GbE SFP+)

The HPE FlexFabric 5800-48G-PoE+ (JG242A) is a robust Layer 3, rack-mount Ethernet Switch  tailored for enterprise and campus network deployments. It features 48 auto-sensing Gigabit PoE+ ports capable of delivering up to 30 W per port—ideal for powering IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other powered devices directly through network cabling . Four dedicated 10 GbE SFP+ uplink slots provide high-speed connectivity to distribution and core layers, ensuring seamless data aggregation and backbone integration Its advanced Layer 3 capabilities, IRF virtualization, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 support, and rich management options make it a versatile optic for modern networking.

Features

Built into a compact 1U chassis, the HPE 5800-48G-PoE+ delivers enterprise-grade switching with a high performance of 284 Gbps switching capacity and 211 Mpps forwarding rate—ensuring wire-speed performance across all ports . IRF (Intelligent Resilient Framework) technology enables link-level virtualization and survivable network topologies, while RRPP supports rapid ring-based resiliency to ensure minimal failover times . Management flexibility includes CLI, web, SNMP, and support via HPE IMC. Advanced Layer 2 and 3 protocols—including OSPF, BGP, RIP, VRRP, multicast, ACLs, QoS, sFlow, and more—provide robust governance over network traffic and access controls With dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 support, redundant power supply capabilities, and deep PoE+ support, this switch is highly suited for demanding edge, converged campus, and enterprise deployments.

Advanced Options

The HPE JG242A switch is engineered for resilience and high availability in mission-critical environments. Its support for IRF clustering simplifies management and enhances redundancy by virtually merging multiple switches into a single logical device. RRPP ensures sub-50 ms convergence in ring topologies, preserving network uptime in the face of failures Delivering both high-density PoE+ delivery and advanced Layer 3 switching, the JG242A ensures smooth, scalable operations for converged voice, video, and data applications.
