Maintain fast, predictable connectivity at the edge with the HPE Networking Instant On Switch Series 1960. Built for small and growing business networks, this 24-port smart-managed Layer 2+ switch gives you the port density needed for users, printers, and local devices, plus the uplink flexibility to keep traffic moving toward core resources and aggregation layers. With 24 x 1 GbE access ports, 2 x 10GBase-T uplinks, and 2 x SFP+ slots, the switch is designed for environments that need more than basic access switching. The stackable design helps simplify expansion and management as your network grows, while smart-managed operation keeps configuration approachable for teams that want control without unnecessary overhead. This model fits well in offices, retail locations, and distributed sites where uptime, clean cabling, and straightforward administration matter. It is a practical choice when you need stronger uplink performance and room to scale beyond entry-level switching, while staying within the Instant On ecosystem.
