HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300F Switch (JL666A) - 24-port 1GbE Class 4 PoE with 4 SFP56 Ports

Product Overview

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6300F Switch (Model: JL666A) is a high-performance, stackable Layer 3 switch designed for modern access, aggregation, and top-of-rack data center deployments. It combines advanced cloud-native architecture with programmable operations and built-in network analytics for superior visibility and control. This switch delivers robust performance with 24x 1GbE Class 4 PoE ports and 4x SFP56 ports supporting multi-gigabit speeds, making it ideal for powering IoT devices, wireless access points, and high-bandwidth applications.

Key Features

• 24x 1GbE RJ45 ports with IEEE 802.3af/at PoE support (30W per port)
• 4x SFP56 ports supporting 1G/10G/25G/50G speeds
• Up to 370W total PoE budget
• Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) for stacking up to 10 units
• Gen7 ASIC architecture with 448 Gbps switching capacity and 334 Mpps throughput
• Built-in Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for real-time monitoring and automation
• Support for BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, VRF, MACsec 256, and PTP

Core Technologies

The CX 6300F switch leverages a 7th Generation ASIC architecture for low-latency, non-blocking performance. It supports advanced protocols including BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and VRF for scalable segmentation and multi-tenancy. The switch also features HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit technology, IEEE 802.3bt PoE, and MACsec 256 encryption for secure, high-speed connectivity.

How It Works

The switch operates on a fully distributed architecture, performing wire-speed switching and routing across all ports. It uses a quad-core ARM Cortex A72 processor and 8 GB DDR4 memory to handle high-throughput traffic. The built-in Time Series Database and Network Analytics Engine continuously monitor network health, enabling proactive troubleshooting and automated policy enforcement via HPE Aruba Networking Central.

Applications

Ideal for enterprise access layers, campus networks, and data center top-of-rack deployments. Supports high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IoT devices, and IP cameras with Class 4 PoE. Suitable for healthcare, education, retail, and industrial environments requiring reliable, high-power Ethernet and multi-gigabit uplinks.
