Smart-Managed 26-Port Switch for Growing Businesses

The HPE Instant On 1960 delivers 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, two 10GBASE-T ports and two SFP+ 10GbE uplinks in a single rack-mountable unit. It is built for small and growing businesses that need Layer 2+ switching with simple cloud or app-based management. No PoE support means it suits environments where powered devices are handled separately. Stacking up to four 1960 switches under one IP address scales the network without adding complexity.

Rack-Mount Chassis with High-Speed Uplinks

The metal enclosure measures 44.25 cm wide, 35.05 cm deep and 4.4 cm high, fitting a standard 1U rack space at 3.9 kg. Front-facing ports keep patch cables accessible while the rear power inlet simplifies cabinet wiring. Two dedicated 10GBASE-T copper ports and two SFP+ cages provide flexible 10 Gbps links to servers, storage or core switches without consuming Gigabit access ports. Fan cooling is internal; the operating range covers 0 to 40 °C at altitudes up to 10,000 ft.

Upgrade Path from Unmanaged or 1G-Only Gear

This switch replaces unmanaged Gigabit switches when VLANs, QoS, link aggregation or SNMP monitoring become necessary. It also supersedes older 1G uplinked stacks by adding native 10 Gbps uplinks in both copper and fibre form factors. The jump is worthwhile when traffic between access and aggregation layers regularly saturates 1 Gbps links or when a single management plane for up to four units reduces administrative overhead. Buyers who need PoE for phones, cameras or APs should select a PoE-equipped 1960 model instead.
