HPE Aruba CX 6300M R8S89A 24p Smart Rate 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Class6 PoE 2p 50G 2p 25G network switch

Stackable Layer 3 switch with Smart Rate PoE

The HPE Aruba CX 6300M R8S89A is a stackable Layer 3 switch that delivers 24 Smart Rate ports supporting 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G speeds with Class 6 PoE. It adds two 10G/25G/50G SFP ports and two 10G/25G SFP ports for uplink flexibility. Management options include Aruba Central, AirWave, Multi-Edit Software, CLI, SNMP v2c/v3 and RMON. The switch is powered by a Quad Core Arm Cortex A72 processor at 1.8 GHz with 8 GB DDR4 and 32 GB eMMC storage.

For multi-gigabit PoE deployments.

This switch suits organisations that need high-density multi-gigabit connectivity and high-power PoE for devices such as wireless access points, cameras and IoT endpoints in a single cable run. The 24 Smart Rate ports simplify cabling by negotiating the highest common speed up to 10 Gbps. Buyers who require only standard 1 GbE ports without PoE, or who need uplink speeds beyond 50 Gbps, should consider other platforms.

24 Smart Rate PoE ports define the use case

The defining specification is the 24 Smart Rate ports that auto-negotiate 1G, 2.5G, 5G or 10G and deliver Class 6 PoE, enabling multi-gigabit endpoints to be powered and connected over existing cabling. Two 10G/25G/50G SFP ports and two 10G/25G SFP ports provide high-speed uplinks. The switch offers 580 Mpps throughput, 780 Gbps switching capacity and 880 Gbps routing capacity with latencies of 4.24 µs at 1 Gbps, 1.50 µs at 10 Gbps, 2.91 µs at 25 Gbps and 3.49 µs at 50 Gbps. Max power consumption is 2880 W.
