HPE CW 2050 24-port PoE+ 420W Network Switch with 4x SFP Ports S6X72A

HPE CW 2050 24-port PoE+ 420W Network Switch with 4x SFP Ports S6X72A

The HPE Networking CW 2050 S6X72A is a fully managed, stackable access switch designed for small and medium-sized businesses and branch offices. It combines 20 Gigabit PoE+ ports with four higher-speed 1/2.5GbE PoE++ copper ports, four dedicated 1/2.5G SFP uplinks and a total PoE power budget of 420W. This configuration provides a practical foundation for connecting and powering wireless access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras and other compatible network devices.

Flexible Access and Uplink Connectivity

The switch provides 24 powered copper access ports in total. Twenty 10/100/1000BASE-T ports support PoE+, while four HPE Smart Rate 1/2.5GbE ports support PoE++ with up to 100W available per port for compatible high-power devices. Four dedicated 1G/2.5G BASE-X SFP ports provide fibre or compatible copper uplink options without using the main access ports.

Power Network Devices More Efficiently

A 420W PoE power budget helps reduce the need for separate electrical connections at individual device locations. The switch supports fast PoE for supplying power shortly after start-up and perpetual PoE to help maintain power to connected devices while the switch performs a power cycle. Automatic PoE allocation can assign power according to the requirements of compatible powered devices.

Resilient, Stackable Networking

Intelligent Resilient Fabric technology allows up to two compatible switches to operate as a single logical device. This can simplify administration while supporting load balancing and network availability. The S6X72A provides up to 80Gbps switching capacity and throughput of up to 59.52Mpps.

Flexible Management and Network Control

Administrators can manage the switch through a web graphical interface, command-line interface or the embedded Smart Management Center. Additional management options include HPE Intelligent Management Center, HPE Aruba Networking AirWave, SNMP and REST API integration. Layer 3 static routing, IPv6 support, VLANs and advanced Quality of Service features help support more structured business networks.

Security for Business Networks

Granular access control lists, secure boot and encrypted management access help protect the network against unauthorised access. The switch supports secure management technologies including SSHv2, HTTPS, TLS and SNMPv3, while Private VLAN functionality can isolate traffic between connected users where required.
