HP J4904A - ProCurve Switch 2848

Overview

The HP ProCurve Switch 2800 series consists of two switches: the 24-port HP ProCurve Switch 2824 with 20 10⁄100⁄1000 ports, and the 48-port HP ProCurve Switch 2848 with 44 10⁄100⁄1000 ports. In addition, each switch has 4 dual-personality ports for 10⁄100⁄1000 or mini-GBIC connectivity.

Ideal for medium to large networks, the Switch 2824 and Switch 2848 cost-effectively offer the maximum in bandwidth performance with 10 times the speed of 100 Mbit switches. Migrating to Gigabit switches will allow you to take full advantage of your existing high-performance, Gigabit-enabled PCs, laptops, and servers—and see noticeably improved application response and file transfer times. By implementing the Switch 2824 or Switch 2848, you will seamlessly protect your existing network investment while preparing for future growth.
