Aruba CX 6200M 48G 4SFP+ Switch

The Aruba R8Q69A is a campus and branch access switch that brings together high port density, flexible uplinks, and a design that scales as your network grows. It provides forty-eight Ethernet ports that support 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices, giving workstations, VoIP phones, and wireless access points a reliable wired connection. Four SFP+ slots accept 1 or 10 Gigabit transceivers, making it easy to connect the switch to aggregation gear, servers, or other parts of the campus backbone without creating a bottleneck.

A switching capacity of 176 Gbps and throughput up to 130.9 million packets per second keep large volumes of traffic flowing, while latency as low as 1.46 microseconds helps voice and video applications stay clear. When additional ports are needed, you can stack up to eight units and manage them as a single switch, so expansion does not lead to added complexity.

The switch runs on Aruba’s AOS-CX operating system, which gives you a modern interface, REST APIs for automation, and dynamic routing features that include OSPF and RIP. Whether you prefer command-line control or a graphical dashboard, the tools are there to streamline deployment and day-to-day management.

Hot-swappable hardware keeps maintenance simple. The included fan tray can be replaced without powering down, and two power-supply bays—one required, one optional—let you add redundancy for extra resiliency. Inside, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and 16 GB of flash storage provide space for configurations, logs, and multiple OS images. Aruba backs the hardware with a limited lifetime warranty, underscoring its focus on long-term reliability.

For branch offices, school campuses, and mid-sized enterprises that need a switch capable of growing alongside user demand, the Aruba R8Q69A offers a balanced mix of performance, flexibility, and straightforward management.
