PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HPE Networking Instant On 1960 24G 20p Class 4 4p Class 6 PoE 2XGT 2SFP+ 370W Switch (JL807A) - Limited Lifetime Local Warranty
Stackable Smart-Managed Switching for Growing Businesses
The HPE Networking Instant On 1960 24G 20p Class 4 4p Class 6 PoE 2XGT 2SFP+ 370W Switch (JL807A) is a smart-managed Layer 2+ switch from HPE's Instant On range, the small-business line designed to be deployed and run without a dedicated IT team. It provides 24 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE ports (20 x Class 4 and 4 x Class 6) plus 2 x 10GBASE-T and 2 x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks, with a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and throughput of 95 Mpps.
HPE positions the 1960 series at the top of the Instant On switch range, for businesses that have outgrown a single switch and need 10GbE uplinks, stacking and basic Layer 3 routing while keeping Instant On's simple app-based management.
True Stacking of up to Four Switches
Up to four Instant On 1960 switches can be stacked and managed as a single unit, and HPE supports cloud-managed stacking set up directly from the Instant On mobile app. Access and aggregation models can be mixed in the same stack, so a 1960 12XGT 4SFP+ can sit at the core with 24- and 48-port access switches beneath it.
370 W of PoE, Including 60 W Class 6 Ports
HPE rates the total PoE budget at 370 W (up to 240 W of Class 6 or 370 W of Class 4 PoE). Class 4 ports deliver up to 30 W for access points, IP phones and cameras, while the four Class 6 ports deliver up to 60 W for PTZ cameras, displays and other high-draw devices. PoE scheduling lets you switch powered devices off outside business hours.
Layer 2+ Features with Static Routing
HPE lists static IPv4/IPv6 routing (32 routes), VLANs, access control lists (up to 960 ACEs), QoS, IEEE 802.1X and MAC authentication and port security, so guest, staff, voice and IoT traffic can be kept apart and routed between VLANs without a separate router.
Supplied in Singapore with a Limited Lifetime Warranty
SourceIT supplies the 1960 series locally with a GST invoice. HPE covers Instant On switches with its Limited Lifetime warranty, which includes 24x7 phone support for the first 90 days and chat support for the life of the warranty.
