Silver 1U rack-mount switch with 48 ports and two SFP+ slots

HPE

HPE 1950-48G-2SFP 48-port PoE+ switch module

SKU CH-M5RN-7MWHC MPN 1950-48G-2SFP

A manageable 1U rack-mount switch delivering 48 PoE+ Gigabit ports, two 10 GbE ports and two SFP+ slots with a 370 W power budget

  • 48 PoE+ ports power devices without extra adapters
  • 10 GbE uplinks and SFP+ slots handle high-speed backbone links
  • Layer 3 routing manages traffic between VLANs locally
  • Redundant power supply support keeps the network running during failures
  • 1U rack-mount form factor fits dense cabinet deployments

48-port PoE+ Layer 3 switch module

The HPE 1950-48G-2SFP provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. Two additional SFP+ expansion slots allow fibre uplinks for longer runs. Layer 3 routing and full management features suit small to medium enterprise networks. Redundant power supply capability adds resilience for critical infrastructure.

1U rack form factor with 370 W PoE budget

The unit fits a standard 1U rack space measuring 1.7 inches high, 17.3 inches wide and 16.5 inches deep. It weighs approximately 15.43 lb and operates from an internal power supply with optional redundant supply support. The 370 W PoE budget powers connected devices such as access points and IP phones without external injectors. RoHS and WEEE certifications confirm environmentally responsible construction.

Sustained 10 GbE throughput across all uplinks

Under continuous load the two fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP+ slots maintain line-rate forwarding for aggregation or core links. Layer 3 switching handles routing tables and ACLs without performance drop during prolonged traffic bursts. The non-modular design ensures consistent latency and deterministic behaviour for latency-sensitive applications. Management remains responsive while the switch processes full-duplex 10 GbE streams.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 1U switch in a standard rack and what clearance mistake should I avoid?

Secure the 1.7" tall chassis with cage nuts at the front and rear rails; leave at least 16.5" depth behind the posts so the 15.43 lb unit does not hit cable managers.

Which parts will need replacement after extended operation?

The internal power supply and cooling fans are the only field-replaceable components; redundant power supply support lets you swap one without downtime.

What capacity limit appears first when all 48 copper ports run at 1000 Mbps continuously?

The 370W PoE+ budget caps total powered-device draw, so sustained full-speed traffic on every port will hit the power ceiling before bandwidth saturates.
