48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch for managed networks

The HPE Aruba 6000 R8N85A#ABA is a managed rackmount switch with 48 RJ45 ports and four SFP slots. All copper ports support 10/100/1000Mbps speeds and deliver up to 370W of total PoE+ power. The unit operates on 120V to 230V AC and fits a standard 1U rack space. It suits offices and campuses needing centralised power for access points, cameras or phones.

PoE budget limits concurrent high-draw devices

The 370W PoE budget is shared across all 48 ports, so the number of Class 4 devices you can power at once depends on each endpoint's actual draw. Copper uplinks top out at 1Gbps, and the four SFP slots provide fibre uplinks at 100/1000Base-X speeds. Layer 3 routing features are available, but total throughput is constrained by the 1Gbps port ceiling. Plan port density and uplink capacity around these fixed limits.

Standard 1U rackmount with flexible mounting options

The switch measures 1.70in high, 17.40in wide and 12.00in deep, weighing 11.07 lbs. It includes hardware for rack, cabinet, surface or wall mounting. No specialised tools are required beyond a screwdriver for the chosen bracket set. Common issues arise when SFP transceivers are mismatched to the fibre type or when the PoE budget is exceeded, causing ports to disable automatically. Verify transceiver compatibility and aggregate power draw before deployment.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 48-port PoE+ model or a smaller switch for my access points?

The 48 RJ45 ports with 370 W PoE budget suit deployments needing many powered devices; a smaller switch only makes sense if you need fewer than 48 connections.

What does the 370 W PoE budget deliver to connected devices?

It powers up to 48 PoE+ endpoints simultaneously, with each port able to supply up to 30 W while the total draw stays within 370 W.

How do the four SFP slots affect uplink speed?

The four SFP slots accept 100/1000Base-X transceivers, so each uplink runs at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps depending on the module fitted.
