HP J8164-69001 Hewlett-Packard HP ProCurve networking / enterprise server hardware Datacentre Switch

The HP J8164-69001 is a ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR, a managed switch with 24 10/100 PoE ports plus 2 Gigabit ports, aimed at access-layer deployments needing inline power for IP phones, wireless access points or cameras alongside standard managed-switching features such as VLANs and spanning tree. The -69001 suffix identifies this as a board-level or exchange spare rather than the boxed retail unit, so it is typically supplied as a bare replacement switch rather than with full packaging and accessories. It is a fixed-configuration switch operating standalone in a wiring closet or comms room. This is the correct replacement for a failed or end-of-life 2626-PWR already in service. Specifiers should confirm PoE power budget for their connected devices before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks and tests this as part of its refurbished HP range, for maintenance, redundancy or expansion of 2600-PWR deployments.
