HP 6300MProduct 48-port 1GbE Class 4 PoE 4-port SFP56 network switch

Aruba CX 6300M 48-port PoE switch

The Aruba CX 6300M is a stackable Ethernet switch delivering 48 ports of 1 GbE with Class 4 PoE plus four SFP56 uplinks. It runs a fully programmable operating system with the Aruba Network Analytics Engine for monitoring and troubleshooting. The Gen7 ASIC architecture provides performance and robust features for enterprise access, aggregation and core layers. HCRP and SPP protocols are supported for resiliency.

Suited for enterprise campus and branch access

This switch fits networks that need high-density PoE for IoT, mobile and cloud endpoints with flexible uplinks. It is not for buyers who require only non-PoE connectivity or who need a fixed-configuration switch without stacking capability. Organisations without a stackable architecture requirement or without SFP56 uplink needs should evaluate simpler alternatives.

48-port 1GbE Class 4 PoE with 4-port SFP56

The defining specification is the combination of 48 1 GbE ports supplying Class 4 PoE and four SFP56 uplink ports in a stackable CX 6300M chassis. This port mix determines whether the switch matches the access-layer density and uplink speed the network design calls for.
