Compact PoE switch for small networks

The HPE 2530-8G-PoE provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet support. It is designed for small offices or branch deployments that need to power VoIP phones, wireless access points or IP cameras through the network cable. The switch operates at Layer 2 and includes management features for traffic control and monitoring.

Rack, wall or desktop mounting options

A 1U rack-mountable chassis allows installation in standard cabinets, while included brackets enable wall mounting or desktop placement. All eight ports use RJ-45 twisted-pair connectors, so existing copper cabling can be reused without special transceivers. The fanless design ensures silent operation in open-plan offices or quiet rooms.

PoE budget limits simultaneous high-power devices

The switch delivers up to 45 watts of total PoE power across its eight ports. This budget can restrict how many Class 3 or Class 4 devices run at full power simultaneously, so plan port allocation before deploying multiple pan-tilt-zoom cameras or high-gain access points. Layer 2 switching caps advanced routing or multilayer features.
