Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch features 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with Class 4 PoE (up to 60W per port) to power connected devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. The four integrated 50GbE SFP56 uplink ports provide flexible connectivity for high-bandwidth backbone or server links, supporting both twisted pair and optical fiber media.
With a compact 1U form factor, it measures 1.73" (44 mm) in height, 17.40" (442 mm) in width, and 15.16" (385 mm) in depth. The modular design allows for future expansion, while the stack port enables multi-unit stacking with up to 200 Gbps stacking bandwidth for simplified management and increased resiliency.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The HPE 6300F switch combines high-density PoE with carrier-grade uplinks in a space-efficient 1U chassis. Its Aruba CX operating system provides deep visibility and automated network management, reducing operational overhead while enhancing security and performance.
Intelligent Management
Aruba Network Analytics Engine offers real-time monitoring and remediation, while Aruba NetEdit enables automated configuration and verification for consistent policy enforcement.
- One-touch deployment via Aruba CX Mobile App
- Aruba Dynamic Segmentation for secure user/IoT access
Robust PoE Capability
Class 4 PoE delivers up to 60W per port, supporting power-hungry devices like PTZ cameras and multi-radio access points without external power injectors.
High-Speed Connectivity
Four 50GbE SFP56 uplinks future-proof your network backbone, allowing seamless integration with 25GbE, 40GbE, or 100GbE infrastructures using appropriate transceivers.
Deployment / Use Cases
This switch is ideal for aggregation layers in campus networks, where its 24 PoE ports can power an entire floor of wireless access points while the 50GbE uplinks handle traffic back to the core. In retail or education environments, it supports converged networks for voice, video, and data with quality of service (QoS) and security policies.
For small to medium data centers, the 6300F serves as a top-of-rack switch, connecting servers and storage with low-latency switching and high-throughput uplinks. Its stackability allows for linear scaling, creating a virtual chassis that simplifies management across multiple units.
Campus Network Aggregation
Deploy at building distribution points to aggregate access switches, providing PoE to edge devices and high-speed uplinks to the core.
Converged Edge Networking
Support voice, video, and IoT deployments with consistent power delivery and secure segmentation for different user groups.
Physical Profile
The switch's 1U rack-mountable design optimizes space in standard server cabinets. Its dimensions—1.73" H x 17.40" W x 15.16" D—ensure compatibility with most 19-inch rack systems. The included 2-post rack kit facilitates quick installation, while the 10.91 lb weight makes it manageable for single-person mounting in tight spaces.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.73" (44 mm), 17.40" (442 mm), 15.16" (385 mm), 10.91 lb (4950 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
