HPE OfficeConnect 1820 Switch Series devices are basic, smart-managed, fixed-configuration Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switches designed for small businesses looking for key features in an easy-to-administer solution. The series is part of the OfficeConnect portfolio of Hewlett Packard Enterprise small business networking products.

The series consists of six switches including 8-, 24- and 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switches and 8-, 24-, and 48-port Gigabit PoE+ models each providing non-blocking Gigabit per port performance. Some models include SFP ports for fiber connectivity and the 8-, 24-, and 48-port non PoE+ models are fanless, making them ideal for office deployments. All HPE OfficeConnect 1820 Switches support flexible installation options, including mounting on wall, under table, or on desktop. The 8-port Gigabit Ethernet model can be powered by an upstream Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch for environments where no line power is available.

These Gigabit switches are plug-and-play out of the box, yet network operation can be fine-tuned through features available from a simple Web browser-based GUI, if necessary. Customizable features include VLANs, Rapid Spanning Tree, IGMP Snooping, link aggregation trunking, and DSCP QoS policies. All models include the latest energy-saving capabilities, including Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and idle-port power down. HPE OfficeConnect 1820 Switch Series is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
