HPE J9836A 2920-48G-PoE+ 740W switch module

48-Port PoE+ Layer 3 Switch

This HPE 2920-48G-PoE+ module delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Power over Ethernet Plus support. It operates as a Layer 3 switch with a 740W PoE budget for connected devices. Four dual-personality ports accept copper or SFP transceivers for uplink flexibility. The modular design includes three expansion slots for optional 10 Gigabit or stacking modules.

Network Teams Needing High Port Density

IT departments requiring 48 powered ports for VoIP phones, wireless access points or cameras will fit this chassis. The 740W budget supports many simultaneous PoE+ endpoints without external injectors. Organisations needing only 24 ports or a non-PoE model should evaluate smaller 2920 variants instead. Environments without SFP uplink requirements may find the dual-personality ports unnecessary.

Rack Mount with Optional Uplink Modules

The switch installs in a standard rack and uses its three expansion slots to add 10 Gigabit SFP+ or 10GBASE-T uplinks. A two-port stacking module can join multiple units into a single logical stack. Four dual-personality ports free fixed copper ports by moving uplinks to fibre. The 740W internal supply powers both the switch and all PoE devices without extra hardware.
