Reasons To Buy

Enterprise class-reliable performance

The CW 2050 series includes four models with 24 and 48 access ports and four built‑in 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks for non‑blocking performance. The 24‑port non‑PoE model includes four HPE Smart Rate 1G/2.5G ports, and the 24‑port PoE model includes four PoE++ 1G/2.5G ports delivering up to 100 W per port.
It supports up to 116 Gbps switching capacity and up to 86 Mpps performance.
Two‑switch Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking simplifies network management and provides high availability with uninterrupted Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 forwarding.
It supports Layer 3 static routing and IPv6.
With industry‑leading 6 kV service‑port surge‑protection technology, the HPE Networking CW 2050 Switch Series helps reduce surge‑strike risks in demanding environments such as construction sites.

Powerful PoE options for Wi‑Fi 7 APs and demanding IoT devices

The 24‑port and 48‑port PoE models provide power budgets of 420 W and 410 W, respectively, at 35 W per port, supporting Wi‑Fi 7 APs, IP cameras, video phones, and other devices without the need for separate power adapters or cabling.
The 24‑port model includes four PoE++ ports delivering up to 100 W per port for added flexibility and investment protection.

Simple and flexible management

The HPE Networking CW 2050 Switch Series includes a default Web GUI and can be managed alongside other CW switches with an embedded web‑based dashboard designed to simplify deployment and centralize management.
Advanced management options include HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC), command‑line interface (CLI), SNMP managers, and REST APIs for integration with existing customer dashboards.

Comprehensive security control

The CW 2050 series provides multi‑layered access protection with granular ACLs (IPv4/IPv6, VLAN, port‑based), identity‑driven policies, and authentication including 802.1X, MAC, Web, RADIUS, and TACACS+, as well as Guest VLAN detection and dual‑NIC detection with IMC.
It supports encrypted access using SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, and TLS, along with role‑based privileges and audit logging.
Secure Boot verifies digital signatures to help prevent unauthorized or malicious software from loading during startup.
Threat‑prevention features include Control Plane Policing (DoS protection), ARP and DHCP protection, ICMP throttling, port security, and source‑port filtering.
Network isolation features include Private VLANs for user‑to‑user traffic separation.
