Keep wired access and PoE endpoints online with a switch built for dense enterprise edge deployments. The HPE Networking CW 2050 delivers 48 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, giving you enough access capacity for phones, cameras, and wireless access points without adding separate power injectors. Four SFP uplinks provide a cleaner path to distribution, while 1G/2.5G uplink support gives you more headroom where access traffic is growing. The 410 W PoE budget is sized for real edge loads, helping you power more devices from a single chassis and reduce rack clutter. This model fits teams that want predictable access-layer performance and a straightforward upgrade path from smaller switches. It is a practical choice for offices, classrooms, branch sites, and network closets where uptime, port density, and PoE planning matter more than low-cost commodity switching. With HPE Networking, you get a platform intended for business-critical access layers that need to stay organized, powered, and ready for growth.
