Silver 1 RU rack-mount switch with 24 RJ-45 ports and four uplink ports

HPE

HPE JG960A 1950 24-port 1GbE 2× SFP+ 2× 10GbE network switch

SKU CH-VKCS-KGVCG MPN JG960A

A 1 RU switch with 24 1GbE RJ-45 ports, two 1/10GbE SFP+ uplinks, two 1/10GbE Base-T uplinks and a console port

  • 24 Gigabit ports connect every desktop device
  • 4 versatile 10GbE uplinks handle heavy traffic bursts
  • 1 RU form factor fits standard rack shelves
  • Console port gives direct CLI access for setup
  • Internal power and cooling keep the switch running reliably

Rack-mount switch for small-to-medium networks

The HPE JG960A 1950 occupies 1 RU and provides 24 x 10/100/1000 Base-T ports for wired endpoints. Two SFP+ and two 1/10GbE Base-T uplinks give flexible aggregation toward core switches or servers. A single RJ-45 console port supports direct management access. Internal fans and power supplies are included while rack mounts are not.

Steady throughput with mixed copper and fibre

Under sustained traffic the 24 gigabit ports feed both SFP+ and copper 10GbE uplinks without oversubscribing a single interface type. Internal power supplies and fans run continuously to maintain temperature during long-duration loads. The console port remains available for out-of-band troubleshooting when the data plane is saturated.

Compact 1 RU chassis with front-to-rear airflow

The unit fits standard 19-inch racks at 1 RU height and uses internal fans that pull air from front to rear. Fixed internal power supplies remove the need for external bricks but require a free rack power outlet. Missing rack ears mean you must source mounting brackets separately before installation. Buyers needing pre-installed rails or redundant hot-swap power will need a different platform.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the JG960A produce when running continuously?

The 1950 switch uses internal fans and power supplies inside a 1 RU chassis; expect audible fan noise and measurable heat output during 24-hour operation.

Which cables and modules must I already have to use all ports on this switch?

You need RJ-45 Cat5e or better cables for the 24 Base-T ports and the 2 Base-T uplinks, plus SFP+ transceivers and fibre or DAC cables for the two SFP+ uplink ports.

Can I connect legacy 10 Mb or 100 Mb devices to the 24 Base-T ports without configuration changes?

Yes, each of the 24 ports auto-negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, so older hardware links immediately at its highest supported speed.
