Support demanding access-layer deployments with the HPE 5140 48G POE+ 2SFP+ 2XGT E. This 1U rack-mount switch combines 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports with Layer 3 routing, giving network teams the port density and control needed for modern wired edge environments. The fixed 10 GbE uplink design helps preserve throughput to distribution or aggregation layers, while the dual SFP+ slots provide flexible fiber connectivity for longer runs and cleaner uplink architecture. Built for enterprise networks that need more than basic switching, the 5140 EI series supports static routing, OSPF, and RIP, along with ACLs and IPv6. That makes it a strong fit for segmented campus access, converged voice and data, and PoE-powered endpoint fleets where uptime and traffic control matter. With lifetime warranty coverage and a design aligned to energy-efficient operation, this switch is positioned for organizations that want to standardize on a durable access platform rather than replace lower-tier hardware as requirements grow.
