Aruba 2930M 48-port PoE+ switch

The Aruba 2930M is a managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch with 48 Gigabit ports and PoE+ support. It targets enterprise edge, SMB and branch office networks that need secure, scalable access for mobile users. The single expansion slot allows modular uplink flexibility. It is not suited for buyers who need higher-density multi-gigabit ports or larger PoE budgets beyond this model.

Rackmount managed build with modular slot

The rackmount chassis fits standard cabinets and provides 48 twisted-pair Gigabit ports plus one expansion slot for optional uplink modules. Managed operation enables VLANs, QoS, static, RIP and OSPF routing, and integration with Aruba ClearPass, AirWave and Central. The modular design supports stacking and uplink upgrades without replacing the unit. Build quality is enterprise-grade for continuous operation.

1440 W PoE budget with quiet operation

The switch delivers up to 1440 W of PoE+ power for access points, phones and cameras while maintaining low acoustic output typical of managed access switches. Power draw scales with connected PoE load and uplink modules. Normal operation runs cool enough for standard rack airflow without additional cooling requirements.
