Product identity

The HPE Juniper Networking EX4550-32F-AFI is a managed 32-port 10GbE SFP+ network switch built for high-density aggregation in data-centre and enterprise environments. It suits network engineers who need wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity for servers, storage arrays and upstream switches.

Build and connectivity

The 1 U rack-mountable chassis weighs 19.40 lb and ships with a 650 W AC power supply installed. Thirty-two fixed SFP+ cages accept 1 GbE or 10 GbE transceivers, while two expansion module slots allow future port-density increases without replacing the unit.

Thermals and power

Back-to-front airflow matches standard cold-aisle/hot-aisle layouts so exhaust heat leaves the rack rear. The included 650 W supply delivers ample headroom for the 480 Gbps switching fabric and all 32 active ports under typical loads.

Questions about this item

What speed does each of the 32 SFP+ ports cap at in practice?

Each SFP+ port runs at 10 GbE wire speed, giving 32 ports of 10 GbE connectivity in a single rack unit.

What rack space and airflow direction does this 1 U switch need?

It fits a standard 19-inch rack in one rack unit and uses back-to-front airflow, so the front panel faces the cold aisle.

How is the 650 W AC power supply installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide the hot-plug supply into the rear bay until it clicks; the step people miss is fully seating the latch so the switch registers the supply as present.
