FAQ
How many PoE+ devices can this switch power simultaneously?
The HPE 2930F 48G PoE+ 4SFP+ Switch has a total PoE budget of 740W across its 48 PoE+ ports. Each port can deliver up to 30W of power, allowing you to power numerous IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, or other PoE devices simultaneously. The actual number of devices depends on their individual power requirements, but with 740W available, this switch can support high-density PoE deployments common in modern office environments.
What types of SFP+ modules are compatible with this switch?
This switch features four 10GbE SFP+ expansion slots that support both copper and fiber SFP+ transceivers. You can use 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, or 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules depending on your distance and media requirements. The switch is compatible with HPE-branded SFP+ modules as well as many third-party options that meet the SFP+ MSA specifications. This flexibility allows you to choose the most cost-effective connectivity solution for your specific network topology.
Does this switch support stacking with other HPE switches?
Yes, this switch supports HPE's Virtual Switching Framework stacking technology. VSF allows you to connect multiple 2930F series switches together to create a single logical switch with simplified management.
