HPE Aruba 2530 48-Port PoE+ Switch

The HPE Aruba 2530-48G-PoE+ is a managed Layer 2 switch built for wired networking environments. It provides 48 autosensing RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 speeds with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power delivery. Four fixed Gigabit SFP ports and a dual-personality serial console port complete the connectivity options in a 1U rack-mountable chassis.

Who This Suits and Who It Does Not

This switch suits deployments needing high-density PoE+ for access points, cameras or phones across 48 copper ports. It also fits teams requiring basic Layer 2 management and SFP uplinks in a compact form factor. Buyers who need Layer 3 routing, higher port speeds or modular uplink flexibility should look at other platforms.

The Spec That Decides Fit

The decisive specification is the 48-port PoE+ count combined with four SFP uplinks in a single 1U appliance. If your design calls for exactly that port density and power budget, this model matches; if you require fewer powered ports or different uplink types, a different configuration will fit better.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 1U rack-mountable 2530 switch and what step is often missed?

Secure the included brackets to the front or mid-mount holes, then fasten the unit to the rack rails; the step often missed is tightening the rear cage nuts so the 15.2 kg chassis cannot shift.

Which component will need replacement first during the life of the 2530-48G-PoE+?

The internal cooling fans are the only moving parts; they typically require replacement before the solid-state switching ASIC or the 48 RJ-45 and 4 SFP ports.

What limit appears first when all 48 PoE+ ports run at full 1000BASE-T throughput continuously?

The aggregate PoE+ power budget is exhausted before the 48-port switching fabric or the 4 SFP uplinks reach their wire-speed capacity.
