Network switch HP Enterprise FF 5940 48xGT 6xQSFP28 (JH391A)

The HP Enterprise FF 5940 48xGT 6xQSFP28 (JH391A) is a managed network switch intended for data center and enterprise environments. It provides 48x GT (10/25 G-capable) ports alongside 6x QSFP28 ports for high-speed uplinks, enabling flexible connectivity across copper and fiber media. The switch supports aggregation and core deployment scenarios where multiple 10/25/40/100 G connections are required and integrates into existing network fabrics for scalable traffic handling and centralized management.

Advantages

The product offers high port density with a combination of 48 GT ports and 6 QSFP28 uplinks to accommodate varied link speeds and media types. It is a managed switch, allowing for configuration, monitoring and integration with enterprise-grade network management tools. The design supports scalable traffic handling suitable for aggregation or core roles and allows coexistence of copper and fiber connections for deployment flexibility.

Suitable for

• Data center aggregation and top-of-rack deployments
• Enterprise core switching where mixed 10/25/40/100 G connectivity is needed
• Networks requiring both copper (GT) and high-speed QSFP28 uplinks
• Environments that need managed switching with centralized monitoring

How to use

Install the switch in a suitable rack position and connect power per site guidelines. Use the management interface to configure VLANs, link aggregation, routing or fabric integration settings according to network design. Attach devices to the GT ports for 10/25 G access and use the QSFP28 ports for 40/100 G uplinks or high-density fiber interconnects, following transceiver and cabling compatibility. Monitor performance and adjust QoS and traffic policies through the management tools provided by HP Enterprise or compatible network management platforms.

Usage recommendations

For stable operation, deploy the switch in a temperature-controlled rack environment with appropriate airflow and redundancy in power and uplinks; verify SFP/QSFP transceiver compatibility and use centralized management for firmware updates and configuration backups.
