HPE 6300F 48-port 1GbE switch with four SFP56 ports

HPE

HPE 6300F 48-port 1GbE 4-port SFP56 network switch

SKU CH-3X76-W746Y

Managed stackable switch with 48 Gigabit ports and four 50 GbE SFP56 uplinks for high-density access and aggregation

  • 48 Gigabit ports for high-density access connectivity
  • 4 SFP56 slots enable 50 Gigabit uplinks
  • Layer 3 routing supports advanced network segmentation
  • Modular stackable design simplifies operations
  • 74 W power consumption for efficient deployment

HPE 6300F 48-port 1GbE switch for enterprise access

The HPE 6300F provides 48 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T connectivity for wired endpoints. Four SFP56 slots add 50GBase-X uplinks for aggregation or core links. The switch is fully manageable and operates at Layer 3 for routing between VLANs. It suits campus, branch and data-centre networks that need a stackable access platform.

74 W power draw and thermal profile in normal

Typical power consumption is rated at 74 W when the 48 copper ports and four SFP56 uplinks are active under everyday traffic. The modular chassis uses internal airflow designed for quiet rack operation without external fan modules. No additional cooling clearance beyond standard 1U spacing is required. The fixed internal power supply delivers the stated draw without redundant units.

Sustained load behaviour with full port utilisation

Under continuous full-line-rate traffic across all 48 Gigabit ports and four 50 Gigabit uplinks the switch maintains wire-speed forwarding thanks to the Aruba Gen7 ASIC. The Network Analytics Engine provides real-time telemetry so congestion or errors are visible before they affect applications. Virtual Stacking Framework allows multiple units to operate as a single logical device without performance penalty. The programmable OS ensures feature updates do not interrupt forwarding.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 4 SFP56 uplinks and what step do people skip?

Insert the SFP56 modules into the four SFP slots until they click, then attach 50GBase-X cables; the step often missed is enabling the 50 Gigabit Ethernet speed on each port in the management interface before linking.

Which components will need replacement after extended operation?

The internal power supply and cooling fans are the field-replaceable units; the 74 W power draw means fans run continuously, so plan to swap fan trays every few years and keep a spare power supply on hand.

What limit appears first when all 48 ports run 1000Base-T continuously?

The 74 W power budget is the first constraint; with every 10/100/1000Base-T port active the switch approaches its thermal ceiling, so airflow clearance becomes critical before any port-speed bottleneck.
