HPE Aruba CX 6000 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP 740W Switch R9Y03B#ABA

48-port PoE+ switch for mid-size networks

The HPE Aruba CX 6000 48G Class4 PoE 4SFP 740W Switch delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support and four SFP uplink ports. It is a managed Layer 3 device built for rack mounting and suits businesses that need to power access points, cameras or phones from the network infrastructure. The 740 W PoE budget covers dense endpoint deployments.

Who should choose this and who should not

This switch fits IT teams that require a single rack unit with high port density and a substantial power budget for PoE+ devices. It also suits environments that need Layer 3 routing between VLANs without a separate router. Buyers who need more than 48 copper ports or a higher PoE budget per port should look at larger chassis models. Deployments without any PoE requirement can select a non-PoE variant to reduce cost.

The 740 W PoE budget decides fit

The total PoE+ power budget of 740 W is the specification that determines whether this unit can support your planned endpoint count. Calculate the maximum draw of every powered device and ensure the sum stays within this limit. If the aggregate demand exceeds 740 W, you must add another switch or move to a platform with a larger power supply.
