How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?

The HPE 5500-48G-PoE+-4SFP HI supports up to 48 PoE+ devices with a total power budget of 1,440W using dual power supplies. Each port delivers up to 30W per IEEE 802.3at standard. The dual power supply configuration ensures automatic failover and high availability for mission-critical deployments.

What uplink options are available for core connectivity?

The switch includes 2 fixed 10GbE SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth uplinks and 4 fixed Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. This provides 20 Gbps of 10GbE connectivity plus 4 Gbps of Gigabit SFP capacity. Optional expansion modules can add additional 10GbE connections through the 2 interface module slots.

Can this switch be expanded beyond 48 ports?

Yes. The switch features 2 interface module slots supporting optional 8-port Gigabit SFP modules, enabling expansion to a maximum of 70 autosensing 100/1000 ports. Additionally, up to 9 switches can be stacked using intelligent resilient fabric (IRF) technology for distributed deployments.

What network protocols and standards does this switch support?

The switch supports full IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking, MPLS/VPLS for carrier-grade services, OpenFlow for SDN readiness, and intelligent resilient fabric (IRF) for stacking. It also supports IEEE 802.3ah OAM, IEEE 802.3x flow control, and BGP routing protocols for enterprise deployments.

Is this switch suitable for government procurement?

Yes. The HPE 5500-48G-PoE+-4SFP HI TAA-compliant model meets U.S. federal procurement requirements and is certified for compliance with FCC Part 15 CLASS A, ETSI EN 300 386, and other international regulatory standards required for government contracts.

What is the switching throughput and packet forwarding rate?

The switch delivers 224 Gbps of wire-speed switching throughput with a nonblocking switching fabric and 167 million packets per second (pps) forwarding rate. This ensures all ports can simultaneously transmit at full line rate without congestion or packet loss.

How does the dual power supply configuration improve reliability?

The dual power supply design provides automatic failover and redundancy, ensuring continuous operation if one power supply fails. This is critical for mission-critical deployments where network downtime is unacceptable. The configuration also supports flexible power input options (100-240 VAC or -48 to -60 VDC).
