The HPE 6000 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP Switch is engineered to power the modern office network with reliability, efficiency, and scalability. Built for branch offices, small to midsize businesses, and growing workspaces, this switch combines a dense PoE-enabled port lineup with flexible uplink options to support IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other IoT devices. Its energy-efficient design and straightforward management help IT teams deploy and scale networks without compromising performance or control. With a robust 370W PoE budget and four SFP uplinks, you gain headroom for current devices and the flexibility to evolve alongside your organization’s needs, delivering a future-proof foundation for hybrid work, cloud services, and converged enterprise applications.

• Powerful PoE capability for growing devices: The 370W total PoE budget is designed to power IP phones, cameras, wireless APs, and other PoE-enabled devices from a single, consolidated power source. This simplifies deployment, reduces the need for separate power infrastructure, and keeps your workspace tidy while delivering reliable, centralized power delivery.
• Class 4 PoE efficiency (IEEE 802.3at): With Class 4 PoE support, the switch can deliver higher power to compatible devices while maintaining energy efficiency and safer operation, enabling prioritization of critical devices during peak loads and ensuring dependable performance for voice, video, and surveillance workloads.
• Flexible 4x SFP uplinks for scalable networks: Four SFP uplink ports provide modular connectivity to distribution routers, aggregation switches, or core networks. This enables diverse topologies—from straightforward edge-to-core setups to more complex spine-leaf designs—while preserving high performance and low latency.
• Dense edge access with 48 Gigabit ports: A full suite of 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports supports rapid device provisioning, seamless VLAN segmentation, and responsive client experiences across the office floor. This enables efficient edge deployment for phones, APs, cameras, and printers while preserving bandwidth for business-critical applications.
• Compact, scalable, and cloud-ready: The 1U, rack-mountable form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained environments and growing SMB networks. Built-in management features and modern workflows support policy-based QoS, streamlined provisioning, and lifecycle maintenance as you adopt cloud services and hybrid IT.

How to Install HPE 6000 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP Switch

• Plan and prepare: Assess your space and cooling opportunities. Confirm rack availability for a 1U form factor and ensure adequate ventilation to maintain performance and longevity.
• Rack the switch: Mount the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the included rails or mounting hardware. Secure with screws and confirm stability before powering on.
• Connect uplinks: Install appropriate SFP transceivers if required and connect the four SFP uplinks to your distribution routers, aggregation switches, or core network devices. Use high-quality fiber or copper cables as specified by your network design.
• Power and initial setup: Connect the switch to a reliable power source capable of supporting PoE operations. Once powered, access the built-in management interface via the recommended management path (web GUI or console) to begin initial configuration.
• Configure network policies: Set up VLANs, QoS rules for voice and video, PoE policies, and security features. Establish IP phone, AP, and camera provisioning profiles as part of your standard deployment workflow to ensure consistent, policy-driven performance.
• Test and validate: Verify PoE delivery to powered devices, confirm link status on all ports, and run basic throughput and latency tests. Monitor power consumption and adjust QoS or PoE priorities if needed to optimize performance under load.
• Document and monitor: Record the switch’s position in your network topology, along with IP addresses, VLAN assignments, and management credentials. Use ongoing monitoring to ensure firmware remains up to date and to capture insights for future expansion.
