Aruba 6000 48-port Class 4 PoE switch

The HP Aruba R8N85A is a 48-port Ethernet switch that delivers Class 4 Power over Ethernet for devices such as wireless access points and IP cameras. It is built for organisations that need a single rack unit to provide both data connectivity and power distribution across many endpoints.

Rack-mount chassis weighing 6.5300 kg

The unit fits a standard 19-inch rack and its 6.5300 kg weight reflects a sturdy metal enclosure designed for continuous operation in wiring closets or data rooms. Four SFP uplink ports allow fibre uplinks to aggregation switches, while the fixed copper ports handle desktop and device connections without additional transceivers.

Verify PoE budget and uplink strategy before

Confirm that the total PoE power budget meets the combined draw of all powered devices you plan to connect. Ensure your core switching infrastructure has compatible SFP modules and sufficient uplink bandwidth for the four fibre ports. Buyers who require modular power supplies or advanced Layer 3 routing features should evaluate other platforms.
