HPE Networking Instant On Switch 1960

In today’s digital-first environment, small businesses face many challenges to stay afloat and competitive. With tight budgets and limited technical expertise, they’re struggling to keep up with the explosion of devices and bandwidth-heavy applications running on the network. To optimize both performance and investment, small businesses need cost-effective, next-gen networking solutions.

The HPE Networking Instant On Switch 1960 is an easy-to-use and affordable wired solution for networks supporting IT, mobile and cloud applications.

HPE Networking Instant On 1960 Switches are advanced, smart-managed, fixed configuration Gigabit stackable switches designed for small and growing businesses that are easy to deploy and affordable. These switches are designed to scale as business grows, making adding more employees, devices and applications simple. HPE Networking Instant On 1960 switches are made to handle today’s bandwidth-heavy applications like voice and video conferencing, enabling consistent connectivity to improve user experience and application performance.

The HPE Networking Instant On Switch 1960 includes five switches: two (2) 24-port and two (2) 48-port models in PoE and non-PoE configurations, and a 12 port 10-Gigabit aggregation switch.

The access switches each have two (2) 10GBASE-T and two (2) 10G SFP+ uplink ports for high bandwidth connectivity.

The 1960 aggregation switch comes with twelve (12) 10G Base-T and four (4) SFP+ ports, providing 10G connectivity to servers, network storage devices and access switches alike.

The 24-port and 48-port PoE access switches come with a PoE budget of 370W and 600W respectively to support the latest IoT devices. The 12-Port Multi-gig switch features a 480W PoE Budget for next generation lighting and IoT hardware.

The 12-Port multi-rate switch meets the increasing demand for higher network speeds of high-speed APs and IoT devices by delivering fast connectivity and PoE power.

With PoE models, up to 30 W PoE power delivery is available for Class 4 PoE devices like access points, surveillance cameras and VoIP phones, and up to 60 W PoE power delivery is available for Class 6 PoE devices like pan-tilt zoom cameras and video-enabled IP-phones.

The 1960 switches provide stacking capabilities: up to (four) 4 switches (access and aggregation can be mixed and matched in a stack) can be stacked together and managed through one single management IP address, simplifying network operations. This means up to 208 ports, including 16 10G uplink ports, operate as one switch.

The 1960 switches support stacking through local and cloud-managed stacking modes. Local stacking provides True Stacking to easily configure, manage and troubleshoot physical switches as a single entity, while cloud-managed stacking provides ease-of-setup via the Instant On mobile app.

Using either the Instant On mobile app or the cloud-based web portal, you can quickly set up, monitor and manage the 1960 switch series from anywhere at any time.
