Is this switch managed or unmanaged?

The HP ProCurve Switch 408 (J4097C) is unmanaged, providing plug-and-play operation without configuration. It supports Layer 2 features like QoS, IEEE 802.3x flow control, and a 1K MAC address table with 32 KB buffer per port for simple SMB deployments.

What are the power requirements?

Uses an external AC power adapter rated 100-127/200-240 VAC, 0.4/0.2 A, 50/60 Hz, with maximum consumption of 15 W. This low-power design suits desktop use and contributes to energy efficiency in small office networks.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?

Measures 7.8 x 4.8 x 1.6 inches and weighs 1.5 lbs. Compact external desktop form factor supports flat surface placement or standard 19-inch rack mounting with optional kit, ideal for space-constrained environments.

What environmental conditions does it support?

Operates in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and 15% to 95% non-condensing humidity. Up to 10,000 ft altitude, making it suitable for standard office and retail settings without specialized cooling.

What compliance standards are met?

Certified to CSA 950, EN 60950/IEC 60950, NOM-019-SCFI-1994, and UL 1950. These ensure safety and reliability for enterprise procurement in regulated environments.

Product overview

The HP ProCurve Switch 408 (SKU: J4097C) is an unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized businesses (SMB). It features 8 auto-sensing 10/100 RJ-45 ports supporting IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards, with Auto-MDIX for automatic cable adjustment and half/full duplex operation. The switch offers a 1K MAC address table, 32 KB buffer memory per port, IEEE 802.3x flow control, and QoS prioritization. Power consumption is 15 W maximum via an external AC adapter (100-127/200-240 VAC). Dimensions are 7.8 x 4.8 x 1.6 inches, weighing 1.5 lbs, with a compact external desktop form factor suitable for rack mounting. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and humidity 15% to 95% non-condensing. Status LEDs indicate per-port link/activity, full duplex, and 100 Mbps. Compliance includes CSA 950, EN 60950/IEC 60950, NOM-019-SCFI-1994, and UL 1950. Ideal for connecting computers, printers, and peripherals in small networks.
