What is the maximum switching capacity of the R8R49A?

The HPE Instant On 1430 24G Switch delivers 48 Gbps switching capacity with 35.71 Mpps throughput. This non-blocking architecture supports simultaneous full-duplex communication across all 24 ports without performance degradation, ensuring consistent network performance during peak utilization.

Does this switch require configuration or management?

No. The R8R49A is an unmanaged Layer 2 switch with fully automated functions. Simply connect power and network cables—zero configuration required. This plug-and-play design eliminates IT overhead and is ideal for SMBs and branch offices without dedicated network staff.

Can the R8R49A support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No. The 24-port model (R8R49A) does not include PoE capability. However, HPE offers PoE variants in the 1430 series: the 8-port model provides 64W PoE, and the 16-port model provides 124W PoE for powering access points and IoT devices.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?

The R8R49A measures 225(d) x 340(w) x 44(h) mm and weighs 1.91 kg. It supports flexible deployment: desktop, 1U rackmount, or wall-mount configurations. The compact form factor fits standard server racks and space-constrained office environments.

What is the power consumption and operating cost?

Maximum power consumption is 11.7W with 3.2W idle draw. The fan-less design eliminates cooling costs. Annual operating cost is minimal—approximately $10-15 at typical US electricity rates—making it cost-effective for continuous office deployment.

What network standards and speeds does this switch support?

The R8R49A supports IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T), 802.3u (100BASE-TX), and 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) standards. All 24 ports feature autosensing capability, automatically detecting and adapting to connected device speeds (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) for maximum compatibility.

What is the reliability rating for this switch?

The R8R49A has a 199.5-year MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) rating, indicating enterprise-grade reliability. This high reliability rating minimizes downtime risk and reduces total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle, making it suitable for mission-critical SMB deployments.
