2
HPE OfficeConnect 1420 switches have quality of service (QoS) support and IEEE 802.3x flow control features that improve
network efficiency. Simplified plug
-and-play convenience is supported by features such as auto-MDIX and auto-speed negotiation.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has innovated and combined the latest advances in silicon technology to bring you some of the most
power
-efficient switches. All models support the Energy Efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az standard, as well as auto power-down
mode on idle ports and power saving on short
-
distance cables. With their fanless silent operation, these switches are ideal for office
deployment. HPE OfficeConnect 1420 switches come with a limited lifetime warranty covering the unit and power supplies.
Features and benefits
Ease of use
• Unmanaged
provides plug-and-play simplicity
• Auto-speed negotiation
selects individual port speed automatically, depending on client capabilities; removing the need for manual intervention
enables simple plug-and-play operation
• Comprehensive LED display with per-port indicators
provides an at-a-glance view of the status, activity, speed, and full-duplex operation of the switches
• Flow control
helps ensure reliable communications during full-duplex operation
• HPE/IEEE Auto-MDIX
automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all RJ-45 ports
Connectivity
• Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Connectivity
supports high-speed Ethernet connections over highly affordable copper Category 5 cabling.
• 10-Gigabit fiber connectivity
Future-proof 10-Gigabit technology allows high-speed fiber connection to servers or other switches, with connection
flexibility using optional SFP+ or SFP transceivers.
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE+)
provides up to 30 W per port, which allows support of the latest PoE+-capable devices such as IP phones, wireless access
points, and security cameras, as well as any IEEE 802.3af compliant end device; reduces the cost of additional electrical
cabling and circuits that would otherwise be necessary in IP phone and WLAN deployments (for PoE model)
Performance
• Energy-efficient Ethernet support
supports new IEEE 802.3az standard; and allows lower power consumption, when operated with IEEE-compliant client
devices in 100 Mb/s mode only
• Half-/full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port
doubles the throughput of every port.
• Jumbo frame support
allows frames up to 9,216 bytes to be switched through the network
Flexibility
• Fanless design
enables quiet operation for deployment in open spaces
• Internal power supply
delivers operational convenience and an environment suitable for business operations
