SKU CH-50MW-F390T

48-port manageable switch with 32×1G, 16×Smart Rate 5G and Class 8 PoE plus 2×SFP56 50G and 2×SFP28 25G uplinks with MACsec

  • 48 ports connect access, aggregation and ToR devices
  • 32×1G plus 16×Smart Rate 5G ports support multi-gig endpoints
  • 2×SFP56 50G and 2×SFP28 25G uplinks deliver high-speed aggregation
  • Class 8 PoE powers dense AP and IoT deployments
  • MACsec encryption secures traffic across the stack

48-port stackable access switch

The Aruba CX 6300M provides 48 ports in a single unit with 32 fixed 1G ports and 16 Smart Rate ports that operate up to 5G. Two SFP56 ports run at 50G and two SFP28 ports run at 25G for uplink flexibility. It is built for access, aggregation and top-of-rack deployments.

Class 8 PoE and multi-gigabit installation

The switch delivers IEEE 802.3 bt Class 8 PoE on the Smart Rate ports so access points and IoT devices receive power and 2.5G or 5G connectivity over the same cable. Virtual Stacking Framework lets up to 10 units stack for single-pane management, and the CX mobile app plus Multi-Edit Software help validate configurations before deployment.

Uplink headroom and PoE limits

The 50G and 25G uplinks handle aggregation traffic from multiple access switches without oversubscription. PoE budget is finite, so dense Class 8 deployments will exhaust available power before port count becomes a constraint. Buyers needing more than 16 multi-gigabit ports or higher uplink density should evaluate modular alternatives.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 32×1G and 16×Smart Rate 5G ports are passing traffic after initial configuration?

Connect devices to the 1G and 5GBase-T ports, then use the CX mobile app or the Network Analytics Engine dashboard to verify link status, port counters, and PoE power draw on each active interface.

What ships with the unit and what must I source separately for a 48-port deployment?

The switch includes the chassis with 32×1G and 16×Smart Rate 5G ports plus two SFP56 and two SFP28 uplinks; transceivers for the SFP56 50G and SFP28 25G slots and any stacking cables for up to 10 units in VSF are purchased separately.

Which uplink combination suits a 25G aggregation layer versus a 50G core link?

Use the two SFP28 ports for 25G uplinks to an aggregation layer, or populate the two SFP56 ports with 50G transceivers for direct core connectivity; both pairs are available simultaneously on the same chassis.
