S6X54A#ABA HPE Networking CW 2150 48p 10M/100M/1G PoE+ 4p SFP+ 1G/10G 770W Switch

BRAND NEW WITH FULL HPE WARRANTY!!!

Overview

S6X54A#ABA is the HPE Networking CW 2150 48p 10M/100M/1G PoE+ 4p SFP+ 1G/10G 770W Switch, a fully managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for small and midsize businesses, branch offices, and enterprise network deployments. It combines 48 Gigabit PoE+ access ports with four 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, providing high-density connectivity for IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, IoT devices, and other powered endpoints. HPE specifies 176 Gbps switching capacity and 130 Mpps forwarding performance for this model.

The S6X54A#ABA provides a substantial 770W PoE+ budget, allowing organizations to deploy multiple powered network devices without installing separate power supplies at each endpoint. Layer 3 capabilities, QoS, IPv4/IPv6 support, and Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking make it suitable for networks that require centralized management, scalability, and operational resilience. The 1U rack-mountable design fits conventional data-center and network-closet environments.
