    The HPE Aruba Networking R8N85B 6000 48G CL4 4SFP PoE 370W Switch is part of the HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Switch Series, a modern entry-level Layer 2 access switching platform designed for branch offices, midsize businesses, and small enterprises. Built on the Aruba CX operating system, this switch delivers reliable Gigabit connectivity, integrated Class 4 PoE, and simplified management options to support today’s wired, wireless, and IoT environments.

    Key Features of HPE Aruba Networking R8N85B CX 6000 48G PoE Switch

    • 48 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE
    • 4 x 1GbE SFP uplink ports for flexible fibre connectivity
    • 370W total PoE budget supporting up to 30W per port
    • Enterprise-grade Layer 2 features with static routing and ACLs
    • Aruba CX Switch Operating System for consistent management
    • Multiple management options including Central, Web GUI, CLI, and REST APIs
    • No software licensing or subscriptions required

    Entry-Level Layer 2 Access Switching

    The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 Series provides dependable Gigabit Ethernet access designed specifically for enterprise edge and SMB deployments. With full Layer 2 functionality, including VLANs, access control lists (ACLs), quality of service (QoS), traffic prioritisation, sFlow®, and IPv6 support, the CX 6000 delivers the essential features required for secure and stable access networks.


    Integrated Class 4 PoE for Wireless and IoT

    This model offers a 370W PoE budget with IEEE 802.3at Class 4 support, enabling up to 30W per port. This makes it ideal for powering wireless access points, IP phones, cameras, and IoT devices without the need for additional power infrastructure. Built-in PoE simplifies deployments while maintaining clean and efficient network designs.


    Optimised Performance and Power Efficiency

    Powered by a dedicated Aruba ASIC, the CX 6000 series delivers low latency, increased packet buffering, and efficient power consumption. This architecture is well-suited for AI-driven applications, Wi-Fi 7 access, and high-density IoT environments, ensuring consistent performance at the access layer where users and devices connect.


    Built-In Fibre Uplinks

    Four integrated 1GbE SFP uplink ports provide wire-speed connectivity to aggregation or core switches, removing access-layer bottlenecks. This flexibility allows organisations to extend fibre where needed while maintaining a compact and cost-effective access switch footprint.


    Simplified Configuration and Management

    The CX 6000 Switch Series supports a range of management options to suit different operational models. Administrators can manage the switch using HPE Aruba Networking Central for unified cloud management, Switch Multi-Edit Software for rapid bulk configuration, an intuitive web GUI, or an industry-standard command-line interface.


    Automation and Software-Defined Ready

    With support for REST APIs, the CX 6000 series is ready for software-defined networking and automation. Features such as colourless ports, local user roles, and local MAC authentication reduce manual configuration effort, making it easier to accommodate adds, moves, and changes while maintaining policy consistency across the network.
