Product Features
Technical Overview
This Aruba switch operates as a fully manageable Layer 2 device, supporting a comprehensive range of networking standards including IEEE 802.3bt for enhanced PoE capabilities. The 24 RJ-45 ports deliver Gigabit Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) over twisted pair cabling, with each port capable of providing PoE+ power to connected devices. The four SFP56 slots accommodate optical fiber or copper transceivers for 50 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, enabling high-speed connectivity to core switches or servers.
The switch's architecture supports media types including twisted pair for distances up to 100 meters and optical fiber for longer runs or higher bandwidth needs. It features a stack port for easy expansion of office networks, allowing multiple switches to be managed as a single unit. The internal power supply ensures consistent voltage delivery, while the rack-mountable design (1U typical) facilitates organized installation in standard server racks.

FAQ
How many PoE+ ports does this switch have?
This Aruba switch has 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This means each port can deliver both data and power to connected devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras, using the IEEE 802.3bt standard for efficient power management.
What types of uplink connections are supported?
The switch includes four SFP56 expansion slots that support 50 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. These slots can accommodate optical fiber or copper transceivers, allowing for high-speed connections to core network switches, servers, or aggregation points, with compatibility for 50GBase-X technology.
Is this switch manageable?
Yes, this is a fully manageable Layer 2 switch. It offers advanced management features such as IGMP snooping for multicast traffic control, port mirroring for network monitoring, and spanning tree protocol for loop prevention. This allows network administrators to configure, monitor, and optimize performance for their specific environment.
What is the form factor and mounting option?
The switch has a rack-mountable form factor, typically designed to fit in a standard 19-inch server rack and occupy 1U of space. This facilitates organized installation in data centers, server rooms, or network closets, with front-facing ports for easy cable access and management.
