HPE Instant On 1430 5-port Gigabit Switch

The HPE Instant On 1430 is an unmanaged Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with five RJ45 ports. It provides plug-and-play connectivity for small businesses and home offices that need simple, reliable wired networking without configuration. The fan-less design ensures silent operation in quiet environments.

Suits small teams needing silent basic connectivity

This switch fits users who want zero-configuration Gigabit links for printers, access points and workstations. It does not suit buyers who need Power over Ethernet to power devices through the network cable. It also does not suit buyers who need managed features such as VLANs, link aggregation or remote monitoring.

Five Gigabit RJ45 ports in a fan-less desktop unit

The five ports each negotiate 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds automatically. The metal chassis measures 9.3 x 11.6 x 2.6 cm and weighs 0.27 kg. Maximum power draw is 12 W with an idle consumption of 1 W. The unit operates from a 100-240 VAC supply and supports Energy Efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az.

Questions about this item

Does the R8R44A#ABA include mounting brackets or a power cable in the box?

The switch ships as a desktop unit with an internal 100-240 VAC power supply; no rack-mount brackets or external power brick are included.

How do I choose between the 5-port R8R44A#ABA and the larger 1430 models?

Pick the 5-port when you need up to five Gigabit links in a silent, fan-less desktop; step to 8, 16, 24 or 26 ports if you need more copper ports or PoE for APs and cameras.

What does the 1 Gbps per port rating mean for real-world file transfers?

Each RJ45 port negotiates at 10/100/1000 Mbps and the 1 MB buffer handles burst traffic, so large-file copies run at near wire speed between connected PCs and servers.
