• 24-port non-PoE model includes four HPE Smart Rate 1G/2.5G ports; 24-port PoE model includes four PoE++ 1G/2.5G ports delivering up to 100W per port.

• Powerful PoE provides up to 420W (35 W per port) to support APs, IP phones, surveillance cameras, door locks, and other IoT devices.

• Fanless design on the 24-port non-PoE model for acoustically sensitive environments.

• Flexible, simplified management with default Web GUI, SmartMC management dashboard, CLI, SNMP, and REST API for integration with customer dashboards.

Enterprise class-reliable performance

• The CW2050 series includes four models with 24 and 48 access ports and four built-in 1G/2.5G SFP uplinks for non-blocking performance. The 24-port non-PoE model includes four HPE Smart Rate 1G/2.5G ports, and the 24-port PoE model includes four PoE++ 1G/2.5G ports delivering up to 100W per port.
• It supports up to 116Gbps switching capacity and up to 86 Mpps performance.
• Two-switch Intelligent Resilient Fabric (IRF) stacking simplifies network management and provides high availability with uninterrupted Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 forwarding.
• It supports Layer 3 static routing and IPv6.
• With industry-leading 6 kV service-port surge-protection technology, the HPE Networking CW 2050 Switch Series helps reduce surge-strike risks in demanding environments such as construction sites.

Powerful PoE options for Wi-Fi 7 APs and demanding IoT devices

• The 24-port and 48-port PoE models provide power budgets of 420W and 410W, respectively, at 35 W per port, supporting Wi-Fi 7 APs, IP cameras, video phones, and other devices without the need for separate power adapters or cabling.
• The 24-port model includes four PoE++ ports delivering up to 100W per port for added flexibility and investment protection.

Simple and flexible management

• The HPE Networking CW 2050 Switch Series includes a default Web GUI and can be managed alongside other CW switches with an embedded web-based dashboard designed to simplify deployment and centralize management.
• Advanced management options include HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC), command-line interface (CLI), SNMP managers, and REST APIs for integration with existing customer dashboards.

Comprehensive security control

• The CW2050 series provides multi-layered access protection with granular ACLs (IPv4/IPv6, VLAN, port-based), identity-driven policies, and authentication including 802.1X, MAC, Web, RADIUS, and TACACS+, as well as Guest VLAN detection and dual-NIC detection with IMC.
• It supports encrypted access using SSHv2, SSL, SNMPv3, and TLS, along with role-based privileges and audit logging.
• Secure Boot verifies digital signatures to help prevent unauthorized or malicious software from loading during startup.
• Threat-prevention features include Control Plane Policing (DoS protection), ARP and DHCP protection, ICMP throttling, port security, and source-port filtering.
• Network isolation features include Private VLANs for user-to-user traffic separation.
