Description

The HPE Networking CW 2050 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch delivers enterprise-grade Layer 2 managed switching for small and medium-sized businesses and branch offices. With 48 x PoE+ access ports, a generous 410W PoE budget (35W per port), and 4 x 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks, it provides non-blocking performance for powering Wi-Fi 7 access points, IP cameras, video phones, and IoT devices at scale. Two-switch IRF stacking ensures high availability, while 116 Gbps switching capacity and 86 Mpps forwarding rate eliminate bottlenecks.

Security is built in at every layer — from 802.1X, MAC, and Web authentication to SSHv2, SNMPv3, Secure Boot, ARP/DHCP protection, and Control Plane Policing for DoS defence. Industry-leading 6 kV surge protection makes it suitable for demanding environments. Management is zero-cost via web GUI, embedded SmartMC CW Dashboard, CLI, SNMP, and REST API, with optional integration into HPE IMC or Aruba Airwave.
