Silver rack-mountable network switch with 48 RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP slots

HPE Networking Instant On

HPE Networking Instant On 2930F JL260A 48G 4SFP network switch

SKU CH-K9YS-3E19M

Managed 48-port Gigabit switch with four SFP uplinks, 104 Gbps capacity and Layer 3 routing

  • Managed L3 switching with 48 Gigabit RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP uplinks
  • High throughput of 77.4 Mpps and 104 Gbps switching capacity
  • Low latency of 3.8 µs at 1 Gbps for responsive traffic
  • Extensive routing support including OSPF, BGP, RIP and IPv6 static routes
  • Rack-mountable 1U design with side-to-side airflow for efficient cooling

48-Port Managed Switch

The HPE Aruba 2930F JL260A is a Layer 3 managed switch with 48 RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100/1000 speeds and four Gigabit SFP uplinks. It fits in a standard 1U rack space with side-to-side airflow and an internal power supply. The unit is aimed at small-to-mid-size businesses that need wire-speed switching and static or dynamic routing without a separate router appliance.

Rack Integration && Uplink Flexibility

The switch mounts in a 17.4 inch deep rack and draws power from its built-in supply, leaving no external brick to manage. Four SFP cages accept standard Gigabit transceivers for fibre or copper uplinks, freeing all 48 RJ-45 ports for end devices. VLANs, ACLs and sFlow give administrators traffic segmentation and visibility without extra hardware.

Sustained Throughput && Latency

Switching capacity reaches 104 Gbps with a forwarding rate of 77.4 Mpps, while latency at 1 Gbps stays at 3.8 microseconds. The MAC table holds 32768 entries and jumbo frames up to 9220 bytes pass without fragmentation. IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables support 2000 and 1000 entries respectively, keeping route lookups deterministic under continuous load.

Questions about this item

How much switching capacity does the 2930F JL260A provide before traffic queues build up?

The switch delivers 104 Gbps of switching capacity and 77.4 Mpps throughput, so sustained line-rate traffic across the 48 copper ports and 4 SFP uplinks is handled without internal congestion.

What does the side-to-side airflow design mean for rack temperatures when the unit runs continuously?

Air enters one side of the 1U chassis and exits the opposite side, allowing multiple switches to sit in the same rack row without creating hot-spots that would otherwise raise intake temperatures for adjacent gear.

Which SFP modules must I already have to use the four uplink ports on this switch?

The four uplink ports accept standard Gigabit SFP transceivers, so you need compatible 1 Gbps SFP modules — copper or fibre — for each uplink you plan to activate.
