The HPE Aruba Networking CX 6100 JL665A is a 48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch from the CX 6100 series, designed for entry-level enterprise access layer deployments requiring high port density and PoE capability. This switch is ideal for branch offices, mid-market enterprises, and SMB networks needing reliable, simple, and secure wired access for IoT, mobile, and cloud applications.
The CX 6100 series is based on the Aruba ASIC architecture with the programmable AOS-CX operating system used across the entire Aruba CX portfolio for a consistent operator experience. This Layer 2 switch series features built-in high-speed uplinks with up to 370W of PoE to support IoT devices such as security cameras and wireless APs.
With robust QoS, support for static routing, and IPv6, the CX 6100 simplifies ownership with no software licensing requirements. The switch supports automated configuration and verification with Aruba NetEdit, and is software-defined ready with REST APIs for programmability.

The JL665A provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports with a 370W total power budget, supporting up to 30W per port. This enables direct powering of IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and IoT devices without requiring separate power injectors.

Four SFP+ ports support both 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit speeds, providing flexible uplink connectivity to distribution switches or core networks. The high-speed uplinks ensure no bandwidth bottlenecks for aggregated access layer traffic.

The switch delivers enterprise-class Layer 2 connectivity with support for ACLs, robust QoS, and static routing. This provides reliable wired access for enterprise networks supporting IoT, mobile, and cloud applications.

The CX 6100 series simplifies ownership with no switch software licensing or subscriptions required. All software features, including static routing, ACLs, QoS, and sFlow, are included with the hardware purchase.

Support for Aruba NetEdit introduces automation that allows for rapid network-wide changes and helps ensure policy conformance post network updates. This simplifies configuration management and reduces manual IT operations.

The switch is software-defined ready with REST APIs for fine-grained programmability of network tasks. This enables integration with orchestration platforms and automated configuration management.

Simplify adds, moves, and changes with colorless ports using local user roles and local MAC authentication (LMA). This reduces manual IT operation tasks around deployment and ongoing configuration changes.

Ideal for large branch offices requiring PoE for IP phones and wireless access points. The 48-port configuration provides sufficient density for larger branch locations with 100+ employees.

Perfect for small to medium businesses needing enterprise-grade switching without complex licensing. The switch offers advanced features at an accessible price point.

With 370W PoE budget, the switch is well-suited for powering and connecting IoT devices such as security cameras, environmental sensors, and access control systems across large facilities.

Can be deployed in campus access layer configurations with VSF stacking for scalable, resilient network architectures across multiple wiring closets.

Supports retail operations with PoE for digital signage, security cameras, and wireless access points, while providing reliable connectivity for POS systems across large store footprints.

Perfect for K-12 schools and university computer labs requiring PoE for wireless access points and reliable wired connectivity for student workstations.
