JG542A HPE 5500-48G-PoE+-4SFP-2SFP+ HI Switch

The JG542A is the HPE 5500-48G-PoE+-4SFP-2SFP+ HI switch. It has 48 Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) RJ45 10/100/1000BASE-T autosensing ports, four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, two SFP+ ports, two interface module slots and two power supply slots.

Power comes from X362 supplies made for PoE-compatible 5500 series switches only. The X362 720 W (JG544A) converts 100-240 V ac at 50-60 Hz to 56 V dc and supplies up to 435 W of PoE per supply, and the X362 1110 W (JG545A) supplies up to 800 W of PoE per supply. A second supply of either type adds redundant power.

The interface module slots take the 5500/5120 series 2-port XFP module (JD359B) and 1-port XFP module (JD361B), which carry two and one 10GbE XFP ports. The 5500 series 8-port Gig-T module (JG313A) has eight RJ45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports and goes in either slot on the 48 RJ45 port models and only slot one on the 24 RJ45 or 24 SFP port models.

Spare numbers are JG542-61001 for the switch, JG544-61001 and JG545-61001 for the two supplies, and JG313-61001 for the 8-port Gig-T module. The 1.8 m console cable is 5185-8627, the 2.0 m chassis ground cable is 5185-9408, and the rack mount kits are 5066-0850 (two front brackets and eight M4 screws) and 5184-6979 (two rear support brackets). The wider 5500 HI and Comware range is in HPE switches.
