HP Aruba JL806A Instant On 1960 24G 2XGT 2SFP+ network switch

SKU CH-K6Y3-KTZE8

24 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus two 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks for small-business networks

  • Switch TypeEthernet Switch
  • 24 Gigabit ports connect workstations and access points directly
  • Two 10 Gigabit uplinks move large data sets without bottlenecks
  • Two SFP+ slots add fibre reach for longer campus links
  • Layer 2 management simplifies VLAN and QoS configuration
  • Energy-efficient IEEE 802.3az operation cuts power draw during low traffic

24-port Gigabit switch with dual 10G uplinks

The HP Aruba Instant On 1960 provides 24 RJ-45 ports at 10/100/1000Base-T plus two fixed 10GBase-T and two SFP+ uplink slots. It targets small businesses and branch offices that need Layer 2 switching with 10 Gigabit aggregation. Buyers who require Layer 3 routing or Power over Ethernet will not find those functions here.

Rack-mountable with stacking and modular uplinks

The unit fits a standard rack and includes a stack port for linking multiple switches into a single logical stack. Two SFP+ expansion slots accept compatible transceivers for fibre uplinks; mismatched modules or missing firmware can prevent link establishment. No PoE budget is present, so attached access points or phones need separate injectors.

Wire-speed forwarding under continuous load

The switch forwards at line rate across all 24 Gigabit ports and both 10 Gigabit uplinks without oversubscription. IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power during quiet periods while maintaining full throughput when traffic is sustained. The internal power supply handles the rated load without external redundancy.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the JL806A is passing traffic on all 24 RJ-45 ports and both SFP+ uplinks after setup?

Check the front-panel LEDs: each of the 24 Gigabit ports shows link/activity, and the two SFP+ slots light when a 10GBase-X or 10GBase-T module establishes a 10 Gigabit Ethernet link.

What comes in the box with the Aruba Instant On 1960 24G 2XGT 2SFP+ and what must I source separately?

The switch ships with its internal power supply installed; SFP+ transceivers and fibre or copper patch cables for the two uplink slots are not included and must be purchased separately.

Which capacity of the 1960 series should I choose if I need 24 Gigabit access ports plus two 10 Gigabit uplinks?

The JL806A is the only 1960 model that provides exactly 24 x 10/100/1000Base-T ports and two SFP+ slots for 10GBase-X or 10GBase-T uplinks.
