Aruba CX 6000 48-port PoE+ Switch

The Aruba CX 6000 is a fully managed Layer 2 switch built for wired access in branch offices, midsize businesses and small enterprises. It delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Class 4 PoE+ support and a 370 W PoE budget. Four SFP uplink slots provide fibre connectivity for aggregation or longer links. The unit runs the Aruba CX operating system for consistent operations.

Suited for PoE-heavy access; not for quiet spaces

This model fits networks that need to power wireless access points, IP cameras or VoIP phones directly from the switch. The 370 W budget and Class 4 support handle dense PoE deployments without external injectors. Buyers who need a completely silent, fanless switch for a desktop or open-plan office should look elsewhere, as this unit includes active cooling. It also targets Layer 2 access, so networks requiring Layer 3 routing at the edge will need a different platform.

370 W PoE budget decides port density

The single specification that determines whether this switch meets the requirement is the 370 W PoE budget across 48 ports. It defines how many Class 4 devices can be powered simultaneously and whether the design can support the planned IoT density. Power consumption is rated at 439 W.

Questions about this item

How do I install the switch and connect the uplinks?

Mount the unit in a standard rack, connect devices to the 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports, and use the 4 SFP slots for 1000Base-X fibre uplinks; the switch is fanless so orientation does not affect airflow.

What maintenance will the switch need over time?

The fanless design has no moving parts to service; keep the ventilation openings clear of dust and apply firmware updates from the Aruba CX OS to maintain security and Layer 2 features.

What limit appears first when all PoE+ ports run at full power?

The 370 W PoE budget caps total Class 4 PoE+ delivery across the 48 ports; sustained full load will hit that budget before the 439 W total power consumption limit.
