• 1440 W of PoE+ power using dual power supplies for high resiliency
Product overview
The HPE 5500 HI Switch Series comprises Gigabit Ethernet switches that deliver outstanding
resiliency, security, and multiservice support capabilities at the edge layer of data center, large
campus, and metro Ethernet networks. The switches can also be used in the core layer of
SMB networks.
With Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) support and available dual power supplies,
the HPE 5500 HI Switch Series can deliver the highest levels of resiliency and manageability.
In addition, the PoE+ models provide up to 1440 W of PoE+ power with the dual power
supply configuration.
Designed with two fixed 10GbE ports and extension module flexibility, these switches can
provide up to six 10GbE uplink or 70GbE ports. With complete IPv4/IPv6, OpenFlow, and
MPLS/VPLS features, the series provides investment protection with an easy transition from
IPv4 to IPv6 networks.

Notes:
Maximum power rating and maximum heat dissipation are
the worst-case theoretical maximum numbers provided
for planning the infrastructure with fully loaded PoE
(if equipped), 100% traic, all ports plugged in, and all
modules populated.
PoE power is the power supplied by the internal power
supply. It is dependent on the type and quantit y
of power supplies. Device supports 1 or 2 internal
modular power supplies. JG544A will supply 450 watts
of PoE+ power per installed unit. JG545A will supply
up to 800 watts of PoE+ power per installed unit.
