48-Port Gigabit Switch with SFP Uplinks

The HPE Aruba 2930F provides 48 autosensing RJ-45 ports that operate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. Four SFP uplink slots allow fibre or copper modules for aggregation or longer runs. It is a fixed-configuration Layer 3 managed switch designed for campus access and wiring-closet deployment.

Practical Limits of the Gigabit Interface

Each copper port negotiates up to 1 Gbps full duplex, so total switching capacity is bound by that line rate. The four SFP uplinks also run at 1 Gbps, which can become a bottleneck when multiple 48-port switches are uplinked to a single core. Autosensing handles legacy 10/100 devices without manual configuration.

Rack-Mount Build and Daily Handling

The unit measures 1.73 inches high, 17.42 inches wide and 9.70 inches deep, fitting a standard 1U rack space with the included mounting ears. At 6.83 lbs it is light enough for single-person installation. Bumper feet allow desktop use, while the screw kit and cable tie secure cabling in a rack environment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 48-port model or the 24-port PoE+ version shown nearby?

This unit provides 48 autosensing RJ-45 ports at 10/100/1000 speeds plus four SFP uplinks; the alternative has 24 ports with PoE+ support instead.

What does the 1 Gigabit headline speed deliver once the switch is installed?

Each of the 48 copper ports auto-negotiates up to 1000 Mbps, and the four SFP uplinks also run at 1 Gbps for consistent line-rate throughput.

Which interface standard do the SFP uplinks use, and what does it cap in practice?

The four SFP slots accept 1 Gigabit transceivers, limiting each uplink to a maximum of 1 Gbps in actual deployment.
