Description

The HPE Networking CW 2150 48-Port Gigabit Switch is a fully managed, stackable Layer 3 access switch designed for SMB and enterprise branch office deployments. Featuring 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 x 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, it delivers 176 Gbps of non-blocking switching capacity and 130 Mpps forwarding — all in a quiet, fanless 1U form factor ideal for noise-sensitive environments. Built-in 6 kV surge protection and IRF stacking of up to 9 members further enhance resilience and reliability.

The CW 2150 supports advanced Layer 3 routing (RIP, OSPF, PBR), granular IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, 802.1X port security, and encrypted management via SSHv2, SSL, and SNMPv3. Zero-cost management is available through the embedded SmartMC/CW Dashboard or HPE IMC and AirWave platforms. Order direct from iptrading.com.au — Australian-owned and operated since 2001.

FAQs

Q: Does the HPE S6X52A support PoE for powering IP phones or access points?
A: No. The S6X52A is the non-PoE variant of the CW 2150 series and does not supply Power over Ethernet. If PoE is required, consider the PoE+ variant in the CW 2150 lineup.

Q: How many switches can be stacked together using IRF?
A: The CW 2150 supports HPE's Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking of up to 9 switch members, providing a single logical management plane, link redundancy, and high availability for growing networks.

Q: Is the CW 2150 suitable for quiet or office environments?
A: Yes. The fanless design produces zero fan noise, making this switch an excellent choice for open-plan offices, classrooms, boardrooms, or any noise-sensitive deployment where a silent operation is important.

Q: What Layer 3 routing protocols does the CW 2150 support?
A: The switch supports dynamic routing via RIP and OSPF, as well as Policy Based Routing (PBR), enabling flexible, enterprise-class network segmentation and traffic control in branch and SMB environments.

Q: Does the CW 2150 support third-party transceivers in its SFP+ ports?
A: Yes. HPE states the CW 2150 supports non-HPE 1G and 10G transceivers and cables in its four SFP+ uplink ports, providing flexibility in choosing optics for your specific cabling infrastructure.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE S6X52A in Australia and receive local support?
A: Absolutely. IP Trading is an Australian-owned and operated IT hardware reseller, trading since 2001. You can order the S6X52A directly from iptrading.com.au with confidence in local procurement support.
