HP OfficeConnect 1420 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

In the HP 1420 Switch Series, you can find unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switches that offer simple plug-and-play Layer 2 connectivity for your business network.

These include models that offer PoE+ and 10-Gigabit uplinks that are low cost.

High-performance GbE Layer 2 Switching, Cost-effective and Easy to Deploy

The HP 1420 Switch Series gives small businesses and others Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switching that is easy to use and doesn't cost much because it doesn't need to be managed.

Gigabit Ethernet is the most recommended and deployed networking technology today, delivering 10x the performance of Fast Ethernet.

Unmanaged switches are the most economical offerings, ideal for locations needing only basic Layer 2 switching in a flat single-tier network.

Most Model Options to Meet Most Basic Layer 2 Networking Design Needs

The 1420 Switch Series has four models to choose from, all with Gigabit performance but offering different uplink options. Consider the 16-port model for locations needing fewer connections and one of the 24-port models where more connectivity is required.

The HP 1420-24G-2SFP model with SFP uplinks is ideal where Gigabit fiber is required, while the HP 1420-24G-2SFP+ 10G Uplink model with SFP+ uplinks is available for where 10-Gigabit is needed now or in the future.

Anticipate the installation of IP voice, or wireless access points, or video surveillance cameras by deploying Power over Ethernet. Choose the PoE+ model for highly cost-effective power over Ethernet deployments.

All 1420 Switch Series models are fanless for silent operation, making them usable in office settings with other workers. All units have internal power supplies with power-cord plug-in simplicity.

Units can be deployed for desktop operation or can be rack mounted.

Automated Features for Hands-off Operation

All models are plug-and-play with zero configuration and no ongoing administration required.

The HP 1420 Switch Series has the company's only unmanaged Power over Ethernet model, with fully automated support for powering compatible IP phones, video surveillance cameras, or wireless access points.

To achieve 10-Gigabit speeds, the HP 1420-24G-2SPF+ 10-Gigabit Uplink model requires no configuration other than the installation of optional 10-Gigabit transceivers; alternatively, use today with Gigabit SFP transceivers if highest performance is only a future requirement.

IEEE 802.1p prioritization and other QoS features, like Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) set priorities, automate the best way to handle high-priority traffic.

The series supports jumbo packets to improve the performance of large data transfers.

cost-effective ownership for now and into the future.

The HP 1420 Switch Series provides a cost-effective way to upgrade to next-generation 10G networks to improve performance when connecting to 10G storage and servers.

Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) is a feature of the switch series that lets IP devices get power without the need for extra power cables.

Green features include energy-efficient Ethernet IEEE 802.3az, auto-power down mode on idle ports, and power savings on short-distance cables for low power consumption.
