Switch overview
Overview
The HPE OfficeConnect 1920S Switch Series are multiport switches that can be used to build high-
performance switched workgroup networks. These switches are store-and-forward devices that offer low
latency for high-speed networking. Three of the switches also support the IEEE 802.3at standard for
providing PoE+ power to connected devices.
Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the 1920S 8G Switch, the 1920S 24G
Switch, the 1920S 48G Switch, the 1920S 8G PPoE+ Switch, the 1920S 24G PPoE+ Switch, the 1920S
24G PoE+ Switch, and the 1920S 48G PPoE+ Switch.
• The 1920S 8G Switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. Port 1 is a Power over
Ethernet Powered Device (PoE PD) port. The switch can be powered by a network connection to port
1 from PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE), such as a PoE switch.
• The 1920S 24G 2SFP Switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and two SFP
slots for supported HPE SFP fiber-optic transceivers (ports 25 and 26).
• The 1920S 48G 4SFP Switch has 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and four SFP
slots for supported HPE SFP fiber-optic transceivers (ports 49 to 52).
• The 1920S 8G PPoE+ Switch has 8 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. The switch
supports the IEEE 802.3at standard and is capable of providing 65 watts of PoE power through ports
1-4.
• The 1920S 24G 2SFP PPoE+ Switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and two
SFP slots for supported HPE SFP fiber-optic transceivers (ports 25 and 26). The switch supports the
IEEE 802.3at standard and is capable of providing 185 watts of PoE power through ports 1-12.
• The 1920S 24G 2SFP PoE+ Switch has 24 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports and two
SFP slots for supported HPE SFP fiber-optic transceivers (ports 25 and 26). The switch supports the
IEEE 802.3at standard and is capable of providing 370 watts of PoE power through ports 1-24.
• The 1920S 48G 4SFP PPoE+ Switch has 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and four
SFP slots for supported HPE SFP fiber-optic transceivers (ports 49 to 52). The switch supports the
IEEE 802.3at standard and is capable of providing 370 watts of PoE power through ports 1-24.
These switches can be directly connected to computers, printers, and servers to provide dedicated
bandwidth to those devices, and you can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch
to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, these switches offer network management capabilities.
