Rugged 24-port PoE switch for harsh environments

The HPE Aruba 4100i JL818A#ABA is a managed rackmount switch built for industrial or outdoor deployments. It provides 24 RJ-45 copper ports and four SFP uplinks in a 1U form factor. The chassis is hardened for extended temperature ranges and vibration resistance.

PoE budget suits mixed device loads.

Twenty ports deliver up to 30 W each for standard access points or IP phones. Four ports deliver up to 60 W each for pan-tilt-zoom cameras or high-performance wireless gear. Networks requiring 60 W on every port should evaluate higher-capacity PoE platforms.

Four Class 6 ports supply 60 W per port

The distinguishing specification is the split PoE capability: four 100M/1G Base-T ports support Class 6 at 60 W, while the remaining twenty support Class 4 at 30 W. This mix determines whether the switch can power your heaviest endpoints without an external injector.
