Aruba Networking CX 6000 48G 48-Port Gigabit Managed Network Switch with SFP

The Aruba R8N86A is a fully managed network switch that delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four SFP uplinks, giving branch offices, midsize businesses, and distributed enterprises the port density and flexibility they need to keep users, devices, and cloud workloads moving without interruption.

Built on Aruba’s ASIC architecture and powered by the AOS-CX operating system, the switch offers a switching bandwidth of 104 Gb per second and a forwarding rate of 77.3 million packets per second. This performance headroom means large file transfers, high-definition video, and real-time collaboration tools can run side by side without creating bottlenecks.

Day-to-day management fits the workflow that works best for your team. A web-based interface helps new administrators handle common tasks quickly, while a full CLI is available for those who prefer scriptable control. For multi-site visibility and zero-touch provisioning, the switch can connect to Aruba Central, giving IT staff a single pane of glass even when they are miles away from the equipment rack.

Deployment is straightforward. The unit slides into a standard 19-inch rack, and the internal power supply keeps cabling simple. An operating temperature range of 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit lets the switch handle typical wiring-closet conditions as well as warmer edge locations.

Whether you are consolidating access points, adding IP phones, or expanding IoT sensors, the Aruba R8N86A provides the scalable, easy-to-manage foundation that modern networks demand.
