8 Smart Rate Ports Supporting up to 10GbE

All 8 RJ-45 ports support speeds of 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T, enabling connection of workstations, NAS, servers, access points, and network devices requiring high bandwidth via copper cables without needing to change the switch based on speed requirements.

4 Class 6 PoE Ports, up to 60W per Port

Ports 1–4 support IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Class 6 PoE, providing up to 60W per port. This is ideal for new generation access points, advanced IP cameras, and IoT devices that require both Multi-Gigabit speeds and high power.

PoE Budget up to 120W

It supports a total PoE budget of up to 120W for 4 PoE ports, allowing power delivery to PoE-compliant end devices using a single LAN cable for both data transmission and power. This simplifies network installation.

2 SFP+ Ports Supporting 1/10GbE

For uplinks, this model comes with 2 SFP+ ports supporting 1GbE and 10GbE. These can connect to core switches, servers, network storage, or other network devices that support Fiber or DAC to increase system bandwidth.

Switching Capacity up to 200 Gbps

The HPE Networking Instant On 1940 S4A36A supports a switching capacity of up to 200 Gbps and a maximum throughput of 148.8 Mpps, efficiently handling large volumes of data from Multi-Gigabit devices. It also features a 2MB Packet Buffer and a MAC Address Table supporting up to 16,000 addresses.

Smart-Managed Layer 2+ with Static Routing

It supports Smart-Managed Layer 2+ functionality with up to 32 IPv4 Static Routes and up to 256 VLANs, enabling systematic network segmentation and traffic management within an organization. It also supports up to 509 IPv4 Host Table entries.

Supports Link Aggregation and Jumbo Frames

It supports Link Aggregation with up to 8 Groups, each supporting up to 4 members, along with Jumbo Frames up to 9,216 Bytes. This improves the performance of large data transfers between workstations, servers, and network storage.

Flexible Network Management System

Management can be done via HPE Networking Instant On Cloud, Web Browser, and SNMP Manager, allowing administrators to configure settings, monitor status, and manage the network through channels suitable for their usage patterns.

Ideal for New Wi-Fi Generations and 10GbE Devices

With 8 Smart Rate 10GbE ports, the S4A36A is ideal for workgroups requiring high speeds, such as NAS, workstations for video editing, servers, and network devices that need 10GbE over copper cabling. Additionally, the first 4 ports support Class 6 PoE for access points and end devices that require high power.

Compact Size, Various Installation Options

The device measures approximately 29.60 × 29.50 × 4.40 cm and weighs about 2.47 kg. It supports installation in standard EIA 19-inch racks, as well as table-top, wall, and under-table mounting. It comes with 1 fixed fan and is designed with left-to-right airflow.

Suitable for Businesses Needing Multi-Gigabit and 10GbE

The HPE Networking Instant On 1940 S4A36A is suitable for offices, network workgroups, small to medium-sized businesses, and systems that need to upgrade from Gigabit to Multi-Gigabit and 10GbE, while also providing built-in Class 6 PoE power to compatible devices.
