Aruba CX 6100 24G 4SFP+ Switch

The Aruba JL678A#ABA is a CX 6100 24G 4SFP+ Switch that delivers wired performance you can count on in branch offices, classrooms, and small business networks. It offers twenty-four RJ-45 ports that negotiate 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, so everyday devices such as workstations, printers, and phones stay connected at full speed. Four SFP+ slots accept 1 G or 10 G fiber transceivers, giving you flexible uplinks to the network core or to other switches without creating a bottleneck.

Inside the appliance, a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processor running at 1.016 GHz works with 4 GB of DDR3 memory and 16 GB of storage. This hardware combination drives a switching capacity of 128 Gbps and wire-speed throughput of up to 95.2 million packets per second. Latency as low as 1.5 microseconds at 1 Gbps helps voice, video, and data traffic move smoothly even when the network is busy.

The switch occupies a single rack unit and weighs only 5.78 pounds, so installation in a standard rack or cabinet is straightforward. Fixed, quiet fans keep temperatures in check, and the built-in power supply draws just 33 watts when Power over Ethernet is not in use. A USB-C console port and a USB-A host port make local configuration, firmware upgrades, or file transfers quick and simple.

For network control, the CX 6100 platform supports VLAN segmentation, IPv6, and static routing, with optional Power over Ethernet up to 370 watts on related models. These capabilities allow you to separate guest traffic, support modern addressing schemes, and power access points or cameras from the same chassis. A limited lifetime warranty from Aruba underscores the long-term value of the hardware.

Whether you are extending fiber backhaul to a remote classroom, aggregating desktops in a branch office, or replacing older 1 G switches in a growing business, this model provides the throughput, uplink flexibility, and management features you need without adding unnecessary complexity.
