48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with SFP uplinks

The HPE Aruba 2930F JL557A is a managed, stackable Layer 3 switch built for rack mounting in a 1U enclosure. It delivers 48 RJ-45 ports running at 10/100/1000 with PoE+ and four Gigabit SFP uplink ports. The switch provides a 740 W PoE budget, 104 Gbps switching capacity and 77.4 Mpps throughput for demanding wired networks.

Check rack space and uplink modules before ordering

Verify you have a standard 1U rack slot and that the 740 W PoE budget covers every powered device you plan to connect. The four SFP uplinks require compatible transceivers, which are not included. Ensure your management workstation can reach the CLI, web interface or SNMP for initial configuration and ongoing monitoring.

Suits offices needing high-density PoE+

This model fits networks that need 48 powered ports, static and dynamic IPv4/IPv6 routing with OSPF and RIP, plus ACL and QoS features. It is not for buyers who require 10 GbE uplinks, a larger MAC table than 32K entries, or routing tables exceeding 10000 IPv4 or 5000 IPv6 entries.

Questions about this item

Does the HPE 2930F JL557A ship with mounting hardware or do I need to buy rails separately?

The package includes mounting screws, four mounting ears and four bumper feet so the 1U rack-mountable switch can be installed without extra rails.

Should I pick the 48-port PoE+ model with four SFP uplinks or a version with fewer copper ports?

This model provides 48 x 10/100/1000 PoE+ ports plus 4 x Gigabit SFP uplinks and a 740 W PoE budget, so choose it when you need maximum copper density and fibre uplinks in one unit.

What does the 104 Gbps switching capacity mean for actual traffic through the switch?

The 104 Gbps capacity and 77.4 Mpps throughput let the switch forward line-rate traffic across all 48 gigabit ports and four SFP uplinks with 3.8 µs latency at 1 Gbps.
