Description
HPE OfficeConnect 1920S 8G Smart-Managed Gigabit Switch (Part Number: JL380A) is an advanced, high-performance Layer 3 Lite smart-managed switch engineered for small businesses, commercial workspaces, and branch offices requiring precision network control, high security, and silent operation. It features 8 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit copper ports that deliver a non-blocking switching throughput of 16 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of up to 11.9 Mpps, easily supporting high-bandwidth business applications.
The 1920S 8G incorporates sophisticated Layer 3 Lite networking controls, including IPv4 static routing (up to 32 static routes), 802.1Q VLAN segmentation, Access Control Lists (ACLs), link aggregation, and IEEE 802.1X network access security. Featuring a completely fanless thermal design, it operates with complete 0 dB acoustic silence on desktops, counters, or wall mounts. Network administrators can easily configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch through an intuitive, modern web browser graphical interface.
