Product Overview

The Hewlett Packard Aruba CX 6000 48-port switch is a managed enterprise networking switch designed to connect wired devices in business and campus networks. Model R8N85B#ABA provides 48 Ethernet ports supporting 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps connections, along with four 1 Gbps SFP ports for fiber uplinks or compatible transceivers. Its integrated Class 4 PoE capability supplies power to compatible devices over Ethernet, helping simplify deployments of access points, phones, cameras, and other network equipment.

With a stated 370 W PoE power budget, this switch is suited to installations that need both Gigabit connectivity and centralized power delivery. It can serve as an access-layer switch connecting end-user devices to the wider network. The SFP ports provide additional uplink options; transceivers and fiber cabling are not specified as included. Confirm your power requirements, transceiver compatibility, and network configuration before installation.

Key Features

• 48 RJ-45 Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps operation, accommodating a mix of legacy 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps devices as well as modern Gigabit Ethernet equipment.
