The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6000 48G 4SFP Switch (R8N86A) is a powerful, entry-level Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch built to meet the demands of modern branch offices, growing SMBs, and midsize enterprise networks. Designed for simplicity, reliability, and scalability, this fully-managed switch provides 48x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports for high-density wired connectivity, along with 4x 1G SFP uplinks for seamless network integration and uplink redundancy.
Powered by the Aruba AOS-CX operating system, the R8N86A ensures a consistent user experience across the CX switch portfolio and offers advanced features such as ACLs, QoS, sFlow, IPv6, and static routing, delivering enterprise-class functionality without the complexity or cost of traditional solutions.
With a compact 1U design, low power consumption, and license-free management, the CX 6000 48G is a cost-effective solution for organisations deploying IoT, voice, and cloud-based applications. It's ideal for high-density environments where performance, scalability, and operational simplicity are key.

Key Features
This enterprise-class Layer 2 switch series is ready for quick deployment and robust security features to safely connect and power your access points, client devices, and IoT.
Deploy the number of Ethernet ports that’s best for you and your budget with plug and play 12-, 24-, and 48-port Ethernet models.
No matter how big or small your network management needs, the CX 6000 has you covered with choices that include easy-to-use Web GUI, CLI, Aruba NetEdit, and Aruba Central (available soon) for single pane of glass management across your enterprise network.
