Layer 3 switch with 48 Fast Ethernet ports

The HP S3600-52P-SI is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch that provides 48 Fast Ethernet ports operating at 10/100Base-TX speeds. It includes four SFP uplink slots for Gigabit Ethernet expansion and supports stacking via Intelligent Resilient Framework technology. The unit is manageable and designed for enterprise network deployments.

Suited for managed Fast Ethernet backbones

This switch fits networks that require Layer 3 routing across a large number of 10/100 endpoints with optional fibre uplinks. Organisations needing full Gigabit connectivity on every access port or Power over Ethernet support will not find those features here.

48 ports at 10/100 with 4 SFP uplinks

The decisive specification is the port configuration: 48 fixed Fast Ethernet ports plus four SFP slots for Gigabit uplinks. This ratio determines whether the switch matches the bandwidth and media requirements of the intended network segment.

Highlights

  • 48 Fast Ethernet ports connect workstations and printers
  • 4 SFP uplinks add Gigabit fibre links
  • Layer 3 routing keeps traffic local
  • IRF stacking simplifies multi-switch management
  • Rack-mount or desktop form fits any space

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the 48 Fast Ethernet ports and 4 SFP uplinks need over time?

The 48 Fast Ethernet ports and 4 SFP slots have no moving parts; only the internal power supply and cooling fans may require replacement after extended operation.

Which limit appears first when the switch runs at full 10/100Base-TX load on all 48 ports continuously?

The 100 Mbps per port ceiling on the Fast Ethernet interfaces will saturate before the four Gigabit SFP uplinks become a bottleneck.

How loud and hot does the rackmount chassis get when operating around the clock?

The rackmount chassis uses internal fans that run continuously; expect audible airflow and warm exhaust, typical for a managed Layer 3 switch under constant load.
