Overview
The HPE S0F83A is a high-density fixed Ethernet switch in the Aruba CX 9300S series, designed for data-centre and large-scale campus fabrics where 100 Gb and 400 Gb ports are becoming standard. It provides 32 QSFP28 ports (100 Gb) plus 8 QSFP-DD ports (400 Gb) in a 1-rack-unit form-factor, delivering up to 25.6 Tbps of switching capacity. Use cases include spine or core of a leaf-spine fabric, high-bandwidth aggregation for storage or server racks, or core interconnect where device count and throughput are critical. With back-to-front airflow and TAA-compliance, it's suited for regulated environments and high-density racks.
