HPE Networking Instant On Switch Series 1960 – 8x 1G, 4x 2.5G, 2x 10GBase-T, 2x SFP+, 480 W PoE (S0F35A#ABA)

Introducing the latest addition to our 1960 Switch Series, the 1960 multi-gigabit access switch. With 12 ports with PoE and 2 sets of 10GbE uplink ports for 10Base-T and SFP+, this new switch supports next-generation connectivity and Wi-Fi 6 access points with a variety of ports to meet the needs of small and medium businesses.

Featuring 4 ports of 2.5GbE and 60W of PoE, the new multi-gig switch supports higher bandwidth throughput over the same Cat 5/6(a) cabling that many businesses already have, making it a cost-effective way to upgrade network capacity. Further flexibility is provided by the 8 ports of 1GbE and 30W of PoE that enable legacy or lower bandwidth-demanding hardware to be used alongside higher-speed hardware — no rip and replace required. In addition to uplinking to the Aruba Instant On
1960 12-port aggregation switch, the 2 sets of dual uplink ports support 10GbE speed to connect server and storage devices with 10Base-T or SFP+ connections.

To boost Wi-Fi 6 access points and next-generation hardware, add the new 1960 multi-gig switch to an existing stack of 1960 Series Switches — the True Stacking feature ensures you can do that without network disruption. What’s even better, you can use the mobile app or web portal to add the 1960 multi-gig switch to your stack, and the Aruba Instant On cloud management takes care of the rest.

If you have workstations with 2.5GbE Network Interface Cards (NICs) you can utilize the 2.5GbE ports to increase the velocity of workloads performed in the cloud or by on-premises servers. Those same 2.5GbE ports will unleash the full capability of Wi-Fi 6 access points like the Aruba Instant On AP25, as they provide additional bandwidth to support the AP25’s 5.2Gbps aggregate throughput.

The port diversity and throughput offered on the 1960 multi-gigabit switch means it works well in various environments. From helping education facilities expand access during high-volume events, speeding up workstations in high-tech firms, or enabling healthcare clinics to reach their electronic medical records faster, the 1960 multi-gigabit switch brings higher bandwidth and throughputs to many small organizations.

• 2.5GbE Ports: Transmit data twice as quickly as traditional 1000Base-T Ethernet ports over the same Cat5/6(a) cables.
• PoE for IoT: Up to 480W of total PoE budget for Wi-Fi 6 access points, next-gen lighting, and more.
• Stacking: Stack up to four 1960 multi-gigabit access switches together for easy management or add them to an existing stack of 1960 access switches to expand capabilities.
• Cloud and Local Management: Use the Aruba Instant On mobile app or web portal to manage your 1960 switches anytime, anywhere.
• Peace of mind: Limited lifetime warranty keeps you up and running while optional Foundation Care gives you phone and chat support.
