Aruba USB-A to USB-C Cable

The HPE R9J32A is a black cable that connects a USB Type-A port on a PC to a USB Type-C port on a compatible Aruba switch. It is intended for network administrators who need a direct wired link for device management or configuration tasks.

Male USB-A to Male USB-C Ends

One end terminates in a standard USB Type-A male connector while the other end uses a USB Type-C male connector. This specific pin-out is the single detail that determines whether the cable matches the management ports on the target switch.

Direct PC-to-Switch Management Link

The cable creates a point-to-point data path between a computer and supported Aruba networking gear, freeing the user from relying on network-based access for initial setup or troubleshooting. It requires an available USB-A port on the host and a USB-C console or management port on the switch.
