Managed Switch HPE OfficeConnect 1920S 48G 4SFP

The HPE OfficeConnect 1920S Switch Series is a family of smart-managed fixed-configuration Gigabit switches designed for small businesses that need improved performance for bandwidth-demanding applications. Available in 8-, 24- and 48-port configurations with PoE+ and non-PoE+ options, some models include SFP slots for fiber connectivity. The series provides simple web-based management, plug-and-play deployment and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Advantages

The 1920S series simplifies deployment with an intuitive web interface and out-of-the-box plug-and-play setup, while offering flexible hardware choices to match different office needs. Enhanced security features such as Access Control Lists, IEEE 802.1X and VLAN support protect the network, and PoE+ models supply power to IP devices without extra cabling. Energy-efficient design and Layer 3 static routing improve operational performance and help lower total cost of ownership.

How to use

Install the switch in a rack or on a flat surface according to the model’s mounting options, connect power, and attach network devices to the appropriate Ethernet ports. For fiber uplinks, insert compatible SFP modules into SFP slots where available. Access the built-in web management interface from a connected workstation to perform initial configuration: set IP addressing, create VLANs, enable security features such as ACLs and 802.1X, and configure PoE settings if applicable. Use link aggregation and rate limiting to optimize traffic flows and IGMP to manage multicast streams.

Recommendations

Choose the PoE+ models when you need to power IP phones, wireless access points or cameras over Ethernet; select SFP-capable 24- or 48-port models if fiber uplinks are required. Apply firmware updates and restrict management access using secure protocols and privilege levels to maintain network security.
