24-port Layer 3 PoE+ switch

The HPE 5500-24G-PoE is a 1U rack-mountable Layer 3 switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports that support PoE+. It includes four SFP and two SFP+ expansion slots plus two additional interface slots for modular uplinks. The unit is manageable and supports redundant power supplies for high-availability deployments.

Modular uplinks and redundant power

Four SFP and two SFP+ slots allow fibre or copper uplink modules to be chosen per link. Two dedicated interface slots accept further expansion cards for specialised connectivity. Redundant power supply support lets a second supply take over instantly if the primary unit fails, keeping PoE devices and network traffic online.

Rack depth and PoE budget planning

The chassis measures 18.1 inches deep, so verify that your cabinet provides adequate clearance for cabling and airflow. Confirm that the available PoE power budget matches the total draw of attached phones, cameras or access points. Ensure spare SFP or SFP+ transceivers match the required fibre type and distance for each uplink.

Questions about this item

Will the internal power supply need replacing, or can I add a second one for redundancy?

The unit ships with a power supply and the chassis supports a redundant power supply module for failover.

What limits PoE+ delivery when all 24 ports are active continuously?

Total PoE budget is set by the installed power supply; a single supply caps combined output, while a redundant supply can increase available power.

How loud are the fans and how much heat does the 1U chassis produce under full load?

Fan speed ramps with temperature; the 1U form factor concentrates airflow, so expect noticeable fan noise and warm exhaust when PoE+ and all uplinks run continuously.
