Aruba Networking CX 8360-48Y6C v2 48p 25G SFP/+/28 4 Sec 6p 100G QSFP+/28 2 Sec FB 5Fs 2 AC Bdl

The Aruba JL704C#ABA is a CX 8360-48Y6C v2 switch that brings carrier class performance to enterprise campuses and data centers. With forty-eight SFP ports that operate at 1, 10, or 25 gigabits per second and six QSFP ports that reach 40 or 100 gigabits, it supplies the density and speed required for virtualization clusters, hybrid cloud links, and high-bandwidth Wi-Fi backhauls.

A switching fabric that moves up to 4.8 terabits per second keeps traffic flowing even when every port runs at full line rate. OSPF, BGP, and MPLS support allow the switch to fit naturally into Layer 3 designs, spine-leaf topologies, and existing core networks without forcing major architectural changes.

Security is handled at the port level through MACsec encryption, while robust access controls help safeguard critical workloads. Redundant power supplies and fans, both hot swappable, reduce the risk of downtime, and front to back airflow aligns with typical data center cooling paths.

Day-to-day management is straightforward. Administrators can work through the familiar RJ45 console port, a modern USB-C interface, or browser-based tools, depending on what the situation calls for. Whether you are deploying new cloud applications, consolidating servers in a campus core, or searching for a reliable aggregation layer, this switch delivers the flexibility and resilience needed to keep your network moving.
