The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300M JL662A is a high-performance, stackable Layer 3 switch featuring 48 HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports (1/2.5/5GBase-T) with Class 6 PoE (up to 60W per port) and 4 SFP56 uplink ports (1/10/25/50G) -3. This switch is the highest-density multi-gigabit PoE switch in the CX 6300 series, designed for large-scale Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 deployments requiring high port density and substantial PoE power.

Powered by Aruba’s Gen7 ASIC architecture and the cloud-native AOS-CX operating system, the JL662A delivers advanced Layer 3 capabilities including BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, OSPF routing, and MACsec 256 encryption -9. The switch features a fully distributed architecture with virtual output queues (VOQ) to prevent head-of-line blocking, ensuring consistent performance for latency-sensitive applications.

The JL662A supports VSF stacking for up to 10 switches, providing up to 200 Gbps stacking bandwidth and simplified management -3. The switch is compatible with Aruba Central for unified cloud-based management across wired, wireless, and WAN infrastructure, and includes the Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for real-time telemetry, automated troubleshooting, and proactive issue detection.

The JL662A supports dual hot-swappable power supplies for 1+1 redundancy. Compatible power supplies include JL086A (680W), JL087A (1050W), JL670A (1600W), and JL758A (1050W), with PoE budget scaling based on PSU configuration.

The JL662A provides 48 HPE Smart Rate ports supporting 1/2.5/5GBase-T speeds, delivering the highest density of multi-gigabit ports in the CX 6300 series -3. This is ideal for large-scale Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 deployments where dozens of high-performance access points require multi-gigabit connectivity.

The switch delivers up to 60W per port (802.3bt Class 6) with a total PoE budget of up to 2880W, enabling direct powering of high-power devices including PTZ cameras, digital signage, thin clients, and the most demanding wireless access points -3.

The 48-port multi-gigabit configuration provides sufficient density for large office floors, convention centers, and stadiums requiring high-speed wired access for hundreds of access points and IoT devices -9.

Four SFP56 ports support 1/10/25/50G speeds, providing high-bandwidth uplink connectivity to distribution or core switches -3. The ultra-fast uplinks ensure no bottlenecks for aggregated traffic from the 48 multi-gigabit downlink ports.

Built on the programmable AOS-CX operating system, the switch delivers advanced automation, analytics, and security features -9. The Network Analytics Engine (NAE) provides real-time telemetry and proactive troubleshooting using Python agents and REST APIs.

Support for up to 10 switches in a Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stack creates a single logical switch with simplified management and high availability -3. Stacking provides up to 200 Gbps stacking bandwidth and cross-stack link aggregation.

The JL662A supports comprehensive Layer 3 routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, VRRP, ECMP, and static IPv6 routing -3. This enables routed access designs and network segmentation.

The switch features dual hot-swappable power supply bays for 1+1 redundancy. Compatible power supplies include JL086A (680W), JL087A (1050W), JL670A (1600W), and JL758A (1050W).

Ideal for large venues requiring dozens of high-performance Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points. The 48 multi-gigabit ports provide ample connectivity for dense wireless deployments in convention centers, stadiums, and large office buildings.

Perfect for environments requiring 48 ports of multi-gigabit connectivity for high-bandwidth devices, including video editing suites, research labs, and financial trading floors.

Can be deployed in campus distribution layer configurations where substantial PoE power is required for powered devices across multiple buildings.

The 60W PoE per port and 48-port density make the JL662A ideal for large-scale IoT deployments powering hundreds of cameras, sensors, and access control devices.

Multiple JL662A switches can be stacked using VSF technology to create a single logical switch with up to 480 multi-gigabit ports and 40 SFP56 uplinks for massive scale.
