The HPE 2620 Switch Series consists of five switches with 10/100 connectivity. The
HPE 2620-24 Switch has a fan-less design for quiet operation, making it suitable for
deployments in open spaces. The models 2620-24-PPoE+, 2620-24-PoE+ models, and
2620-48-PoE+ are IEEE 802.3af- and IEEE 802.3at-compliant switches that provide up to
30 W per powered port. The 2620-48 model has variable-speed fans for quiet operation.
All 2620 switches include two 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and two SFP slots for Gigabit Ethernet
uplink connectivity. An optional redundant external power supply is also available to provide
redundancy in the event of a power supply failure.
With IPv4/IPv6 static and RIP routing, robust security and management features, as well as a
Limited Lifetime Warranty and included software updates, the 2620 Switch Series is a
cost-eective solution for those building converged enterprise-edge networks.
A summary of the highlights of the 2620 Switch Series
• Cost-eective access layer switches
• Lite L3 IPv4/IPv6 static and RIP routing
• 30 W PoE+ support on PoE models
• Gigabit fiber uplinks
• Enterprise-class features
