What are the port specifications for the HPE OfficeConnect 1420-8G?

The switch features 8 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports supporting IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T), 802.3u (100BASE-TX), and 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) standards. All ports include auto-MDIX functionality and support half/full-duplex auto-negotiation, eliminating the need for crossover cables and manual configuration.

What is the switching capacity and throughput performance?

The 1420-8G delivers 16 Gbps switching capacity with up to 11.8 Mpps throughput on 64-byte packets. This performance supports simultaneous multi-port communication in small office environments without bottlenecks, making it suitable for workgroups with moderate bandwidth requirements.

Is this switch managed or unmanaged?

The OfficeConnect 1420-8G is an unmanaged Layer 2 switch designed for plug-and-play deployment. It requires no configuration or management interface, making it ideal for small businesses and branch offices seeking simple, cost-effective connectivity without IT overhead.

Does the switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

The 1420-8G model does not include PoE functionality. However, HPE offers alternative OfficeConnect 1420 models with PoE+ support on selected ports for powering access points, IP phones, and IP cameras if required.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

The switch measures 2.69 x 15.77 x 10.49 cm and weighs 0.5 kg (1.10 lb). Its compact desktop form factor enables flexible placement on desks or shelves without requiring dedicated rack infrastructure, making it suitable for distributed office deployments.

What energy efficiency features does the switch include?

The 1420-8G supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard with auto power-down on idle ports, reducing power consumption during low-traffic periods. The fanless design eliminates mechanical components, enabling silent operation and lower operational costs in office environments.

What warranty coverage is included?

The HPE OfficeConnect 1420-8G includes a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering the unit and power supplies, providing long-term protection for small business network investments.
