HPE R0X27C Aruba CX 6410 v2 Modular Ethernet Switch Chassis

Detailed Specifications

The HPE R0X27C is the Aruba CX 6410 v2 Switch, a modern 10-slot modular chassis engineered for high-demand enterprise campus and data center networks. It provides a flexible and intelligent foundation for access, aggregation, and core deployments, solving the need for a scalable platform that can adapt to evolving connectivity and traffic demands. This chassis is built to deliver long-term value by separating the switching fabric and physical interfaces from the core processing and management components. At its core, the system operates on the cloud-native AOS-CX network operating system, which provides a fully programmable, distributed architecture. This design, combined with Aruba's Gen7 ASIC architecture, ensures very low latency and non-blocking performance. Key technologies like Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) deliver high availability by enabling rapid, non-disruptive upgrades and failover, which is critical for maintaining continuous network operations in mission-critical environments. Designed for deployment in a standard IT rack, the R0X27C chassis fits a 12U rack space and serves as the central hub for various line cards. This allows for a mix of high-density connectivity options, from multi-gigabit copper with high-power PoE to 100GbE fiber, all within the same platform. Management is streamlined through a single pane of glass with HPE Aruba Networking Central, simplifying configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting across the entire wired, wireless, and WAN infrastructure.
