Aruba CX 6000 8p 10M/100M/1G Class4 PoE 2p SFP 1G 67W Switch

The Aruba CX 6000 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switch, part number S4R23A#ABA, provides reliable Layer 2 wired connectivity for small businesses, branch offices, IoT deployments, and space-constrained network environments. Built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, this compact switch combines eight 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with two 1Gbps SFP uplinks for flexible access-layer connectivity.

Designed for straightforward deployment and ongoing management, the Aruba CX 6000 uses the HPE Aruba Networking CX Switch Operating System to deliver a consistent operator experience. The fully managed platform supports essential enterprise networking capabilities, including VLANs, static routing, access control lists, quality of service, traffic prioritization, IPv6, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and spanning tree. Management options include HPE Aruba Networking Central, Switch MultiEdit Software, an intuitive web interface, and industry-standard command-line tools.

With IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE+ support and a 67W power budget, the S4R23A#ABA can help power compatible wireless access points, security cameras, VoIP devices, and other IoT equipment directly through network cabling. Its dedicated switching architecture is designed to provide low latency, efficient packet handling, and dependable performance for modern applications, including cloud services, mobile users, Wi-Fi infrastructure, and connected devices. Gigabit Ethernet supports high-speed data transfer over standard twisted-pair cabling, while the SFP uplinks provide convenient connections to aggregation switches or other fiber-capable network equipment.

The Aruba CX 6000 series simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscription required for core operation. Its compact form factor is well suited to offices, retail locations, classrooms, and other installations where dependable managed connectivity is required without a large hardware footprint. The switch also supports REST APIs for software-defined networking and automation, helping organizations prepare their wired infrastructure for future operational needs.
