Managed L3 Switch HP HPE 5406R 44GT PoE+ & 4×SFP+ (No PSU) — 44×Gigabit RJ-45, 4×10Gb SFP+, PoE+, 960 Gbit/s, 4U

The Managed L3 Switch HP HPE 5406R 44GT PoE+ & 4×SFP+ (No PSU) is a rack-mount Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise access and aggregation. It provides 44 Gigabit RJ-45 ports with PoE/PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) support and four 10Gb SFP+ uplink ports. The switch operates in full-duplex mode, offers a 64K MAC address table and a switching capacity of 960 Gbit/s in a 4U form factor, making it suitable for campus, branch and data-center edge deployments.

Advantages

This managed switch delivers integrated PoE+ on multiple Gigabit ports to power connected devices while simplifying power and data consolidation. Layer 3 capabilities enable routing and advanced traffic segregation for campus or branch networks. The combination of 44 RJ-45 ports and four 10Gb SFP+ uplinks supports high-density access with uplink bandwidth for aggregation and server connectivity. The 4U chassis form factor is compatible with standard rack deployments and the device is designed for resilient, enterprise-class networking environments.

Suitable for

• Enterprise campus access and aggregation
• Branch office connectivity with PoE/PoE+ powered devices
• Data-center edge or top-of-rack aggregation
• Environments requiring Layer 3 routing and access control

Key specifications

• Ports: 44 × Gigabit RJ-45 with PoE/PoE+ support (IEEE 802.3af/at)
• Uplinks: 4 × 10Gb SFP+ ports
• Switching capacity: 960 Gbit/s
• MAC address table: 64K entries
• Form factor: 4U rack-mount chassis (no power supply included)
• Operation: Full-duplex Ethernet

How to use

Mount the 4U chassis in a standard equipment rack and install compatible power supplies or connect to the rack power infrastructure as required (this listing does not include a power supply). Connect access devices to the Gigabit RJ-45 ports and use the SFP+ ports for 10Gb uplinks to aggregation switches or servers. Configure Layer 3 interfaces, VLANs, routing protocols and PoE settings through the switch management interface to match your network design and security policies. Ensure firmware and configuration backups are maintained and that management access is secured.

Recommendations

Use this switch in ventilated, temperature-controlled rack environments and plan for appropriate power redundancy at the rack level since the unit is supplied without an internal power supply. For networks with mixed access devices, verify PoE budget and distribution per port before deployment and allocate uplink bandwidth using link aggregation or traffic policies to maintain performance.
