The HP 1420 Switch Series consists of unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switches, for small business and others looking for plug-andplay basic Layer 2 connectivity for their network, including low-cost PoE+ and 10-Gigabit uplink models. The 1420 Switch Series includes four Gigabit switches. All have 10/100/1000 ports for affordable Gigabit connections using copper Cat 5e cabling. There is a 16-port RJ45-only model. There is a 24-port model with two SFP Gigabit ports, ideal where long distances require fiber-based connections. Another 24-port model supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ on 12 of its ports, able to forward up to 30W power on these ports to power Access Points, IP phones, IP cameras and other PoE-enabled devices. For cost-effective high-speed fiber-based server connections, there is a 24-port 10/100/1000 switch with two SFP+ 10-Gigabit ports. HP 1420 switches have quality of service (QoS) support and IEEE 802.3x flow control features that improve network efficiency. Simplified plug-and-play convenience is supported by features such as auto-MDIX and autospeed negotiation. HP has innovated and combined the latest advances in silicon technology to bring you some of the most power-efficient switches. All models support the Energy Efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az standard, as well as auto power-down mode on idle ports, and power saving on short-distance cables. With their fanless silent operation, these switches are ideal for office deployment. HP 1420 switches come with a limited lifetime warranty covering the unit and power supplies, as well as 24x7 phone support for the first three years of ownership.Features 24 networking ports to meet the requirements of the most demanding workgroupsSupports optical fiber cable to span longer distances and provided high data transmission rates between servers and network componentsGigabit Ethernet port for ultra-fast network speedsLayer 2 switch provides a complete lineup of features including IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and spanning treeThe unmanaged switch provides a quick, easy and cost-saving way to add wired networking to your home, office or small business; no intervention needed
