Description

The HPE Networking CW 2050 is a fully managed Layer 2 access switch purpose-built for small and medium-sized businesses and branch offices. Delivering 24 x Gigabit PoE+ access ports with a 420W total power budget, plus four 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks, it supports Wi-Fi 7 access points, IP cameras, video phones, and IoT devices with enterprise-grade reliability. Fast PoE, Perpetual PoE, and a PoE watchdog ensure connected devices stay powered even during system reboots or outages.

Backed by 116 Gbps switching capacity and 86.3 Mpps forwarding rate, the CW 2050 delivers non-blocking performance at the access layer. Two-switch IRF stacking simplifies management and boosts resiliency, while 6 kV surge protection suits demanding deployments such as construction sites. Management is handled via Web GUI, CLI, SNMP, REST API, Aruba AirWave, or the embedded CW Dashboard at no additional cost. Order direct from iptrading.com.au — Australian-owned and operated since 2001.

FAQs

Q: What is the total PoE power budget on the HPE CW 2050 24-port switch?
A: The CW 2050 S6X72A provides a total PoE power budget of 420W. All 24 access ports support 802.3at PoE+ at up to 35W per port, and four additional 1G/2.5G ports deliver PoE++ at up to 100W per port for high-powered devices such as Wi-Fi 7 access points.

Q: Can the HPE CW 2050 switch support Wi-Fi 7 access points?
A: Yes. The four 1G/2.5G PoE++ uplink/access ports deliver up to 100W each, providing the power and bandwidth headroom required by Wi-Fi 7 access points. The 24 standard PoE+ ports also support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E APs, IP cameras, and IP phones.

Q: Does the CW 2050 switch require a separate management licence or subscription?
