8-Port, 24-Port, and 48-Port Managed Switches – Which One Fits Your Network?

When selecting a managed ethernet switch, port count is more than just numbers, it reflects your network’s scale, growth plan, and power needs. 8-port switches work best for compact setups or remote branches, 24-port switches balance affordability and expansion for SMBs, while 48-port switches deliver the density, intelligence, and resiliency needed for high-capacity offices or campus environments.

8-Port Managed Switches

Compact Networks and Branch Offices

8-Port C1 Series network switches are ideal for small offices and distributed branches where only a handful of wired devices need always-on reliability. With PoE+ support, they can directly power IP phones, cameras, and access points, eliminating the need for extra cabling.

24-Port Managed Switches

Balanced Scale and Affordability

24-Port C1 Series network switches come with the perfect balance between scalability and cost-efficiency for SMBs and educational campuses. They combine high switching capacity, Layer 2 performance, flexible uplink options to keep medium-sized networks resilient and future-ready.

48-Port Managed Switches

High-Density Networks

48-Port C1 Series network switches are purpose-built for campuses and high density environments where intelligence, resiliency, and Zero Trust security are non-negotiable. With redundant uplinks for high availability, Layer 2 switching for advanced routing, and dynamic segmentation to manage large device groups, these managed switches deliver always-on reliability at scale.

FAQs

Key information about features, performance, and deployment of C1 switching solutions

What is the C1 series of switches?

The C1 series is a line of managed L2 switches offered by HFCL, designed for various networking needs including access and aggregation in enterprise, campus, and telco environments.

What management interfaces are available on C1 series switches?

All C1 series switches offer both Command Line Interface (CLI) and Web Graphical User Interface (WebGUI) for management.

What is the maximum PoE budget available in the C1 series?

The highest PoE budget in the C1 series is 740W, available on the HSP-IO-48GE4XS-C1PA model.

What uplink options are available in the C1 series?

The C1 series offers various uplink options:
a. HSP-IO-8GE2S-C1PA: 2x 1G RJ45 and 2x 1G SFP uplinks
b. Other models: 4x 1/10G SFP+ uplinks

What is the maximum switching capacity in the C1 series switches?

The maximum switching capacity is 176 Gbps, available on the 48-port models (HSP-IO-48GE4XS-C1PA and HSP-IO-48GE4XS-C1A).

When should I choose a managed PoE switch over a non-PoE switch?

A managed PoE switch powers devices like IP phones, access points, and security cameras directly over Ethernet, reducing cabling costs. If your deployment involves multiple powered devices, a PoE switch is the better option.

How do C1 Series switches ensure network reliability and security?

C1 Series network switches are built for always-on reliability with features like redundant uplinks, Zero Trust security, dynamic segmentation, and zero-touch provisioning, ensuring secure performance and business continuity.
