They are preconfigured for easy installation and support low-cost Ethernet copper cabling. Easy to Use and Energy Efficient The HP 1405 switches are designed with the user in mind, featuring auto-negotiation and automatic cable type detection for hassle-free setup. They are also Class B certified and approved for use in both business and home office environments. The v2 models (J9791A, J9792A, J9793A*, and J9794A) include energy-saving features such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and idle-port power down. (*The J9793A will be available as of July 2012.)

Plus, they come with a 3-year warranty and access to HP phone support for added peace of mind. Quality of Service (QoS) The HP 1405 switches prioritize data delivery based on the type and priority of traffic using Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) and IEEE 802.1p prioritization. This ensures that important data is given the highest priority for efficient and reliable communication. Flexible Connectivity These switches feature auto-MDIX, which automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables on all 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports. They also have half-/full-duplex auto-negotiating capability on every port, doubling the throughput for improved performance. Convenient Features The HP 1405 switches also come with flow control, which helps ensure reliable communication during full-duplex operation. They also have a fanless design for quiet operation, making them suitable for deployment in open spaces (selected models). Environmentally Friendly These switches are designed to support green initiatives, complying with RoHS and WEEE regulations for environmentally responsible manufacturing and disposal. Warranty and Support The HP 1405 switches come with a 3-year warranty that includes advance replacement and next-business-day delivery in most countries. This ensures that you can get back up and running quickly in case of any issues.
