Smart-managed 10G access switch

The HPE Instant On 1960 JL805A#ABA is a smart-managed Layer 2 Ethernet switch built for business networks and workgroups that require ultra-high performance. It provides twelve 10GBase-T RJ45 ports and four SFP+ ports for 10G connectivity to servers, storage and access switches. The unit operates on 100-240 VAC power and mounts in a standard rack.

Stackable design for simplified operations

Up to four 1960 switches can be stacked at 1G and 10G speeds and managed through a single IP address using local or cloud-managed stacking modes. This reduces administrative overhead by presenting multiple physical units as one logical device. The metal chassis measures 35.05 x 44.25 x 4.4 cm and weighs 4.3 kg, fitting a 1U rack space with front-to-rear airflow.

Cloud and mobile management included

The switch is configured and monitored through the Aruba Instant On mobile app or cloud-based web portal, enabling onsite or remote network management without a dedicated hardware controller. SNMP support allows integration with existing monitoring tools. The product carries a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

What speeds do the twelve 10GBase-T ports actually support?

The twelve RJ45 ports run at 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps, giving full 10 Gbps copper links to servers and storage.

What rack space and clearance does the 1960 12XGT 4SFP+ need?

It is a 1U unit measuring 44.25 cm wide, 35.05 cm deep and 4.4 cm high, weighing 4.3 kg, so it fits a standard 19-inch rack with at least 35 cm usable depth.

How do I add this switch to an existing Instant On stack without creating a split-brain?

Power the new unit down, connect the stacking cables to the designated SFP+ ports, power it up, then adopt it in the mobile app or cloud portal so it joins the single IP stack.
