Smart-managed 48-port access switch

The HPE Instant On 1960 provides 48 RJ-45 ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps plus two 10GBASE-T and two SFP+ 10 GbE uplinks in a 1U rack-mountable chassis. It is built for small and growing businesses that need Layer 2+ features without the complexity of a fully managed core switch. The smart management tier supports VLANs, QoS and SNMP monitoring out of the box.

Stackable uplink performance under load

Up to four 1960 switches can be stacked at 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds and managed through a single IP address using local or cloud-managed stacking modes. The twelve 10GBase-T and four SFP+ uplink ports on the aggregation variant keep latency low and throughput consistent when multiple access switches push sustained traffic toward servers or network storage. Fan and thermal design maintains operation from 0 to 40 °C without throttling the 10 GbE links.

Rack installation and common pitfalls

The unit measures 44.25 cm wide, 35.05 cm deep and 4.4 cm high, fitting standard 19-inch racks with included brackets. It weighs 4.4 kg, so two people or a shelf rail kit are recommended for safe mounting. The 100–240 VAC internal supply needs only a C13 cord; no external brick is required. Buyers who need PoE for phones or cameras should choose a PoE model, as this SKU does not supply power over Ethernet.

Questions about this item

How much power does the JL808A#ABA draw when all 48 Gigabit ports and the 10 Gbps uplinks are active all day?

The switch operates on 100-240 VAC; the supplier data does not publish a maximum wattage figure for full-load conditions.

What cabling and modules do I need to use the two 10GBASE-T and two SFP+ ports on this switch?

The 10GBASE-T ports take standard Cat 6a or better RJ-45 cables; the SFP+ ports require compatible 10 Gbps SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch cords.

Can I manage this 1960 switch together with older Instant On switches through the same mobile app?

Yes, the Aruba Instant On mobile app and cloud portal support the 1960 series alongside other Instant On models for unified monitoring and configuration.
