HPE 5500-24G-4SFP 24-port Layer 3 network switch

Layer 3 switch with 24 Gigabit ports

The HPE 5500-24G-4SFP is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch that provides 24 fixed Gigabit Ethernet ports using 10/100/1000Base-T connections. It includes four SFP slots and two SFP+ slots for fibre uplinks or additional copper modules. The unit fits a 1U space and supports redundant power supplies for improved availability.

Suited for managed aggregation without PoE

This switch suits network teams that need a manageable Layer 3 core or distribution device with modular uplink flexibility but do not require Power over Ethernet on the RJ-45 ports. Buyers who need PoE to run phones, cameras or access points directly from the switch should look at a model that includes that capability.

Uplink flexibility decided by four SFP

The single specification that determines fit is the uplink configuration: four Gigabit SFP slots plus two 10 Gigabit SFP+ slots alongside the 24 fixed copper ports. If your design calls for a different mix of fibre speeds or a higher count of 10G uplinks, this chassis will not match that requirement.
