HPER8N89-61101

ArubaCX 6000 12G Class 4 (139 W) Ethernet Switch

The HPEArubaR8N89-61101 (ArubaCX 6000 Series) is a fully managed 12-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch featuring IEEE 802.3at Class 4 PoE+ support delivering up to 139 W total power. Designed for branch offices, retail, and mid-size enterprise deployments, it provides reliable connectivity for Wi-Fi access points, IP phones, security cameras, and IoT devices. The fanless 1 U rack-mountable chassis ensures whisper-quiet operation, making it ideal for noise-sensitive or space-constrained environments. Easily deployable via AOS-CX operating system, the switch supports Layer 2 functionality with basic static routing, ACLs, QoS, IPv6, sFlow, and SNMP, offering powerful yet simple network control.

Features

The CX 6000 12G Class 4 model integrates 12 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports, 2 fixed gigabit RJ-45 uplinks, and 2 SFP uplink ports in a compact rack-mountable form factor. Individually each PoE+ port supports up to 30 W (Class 4), ideal for supporting devices like APs, surveillance cameras, or VoIP phones with a total budget of 139 W across all portsPowered by ArubaASIC and AOS-CX OS, this managed switch offers low-latency forwarding (≈2.3 µs at 1 Gb/s, ≈2.6 µs at 10 Gb/s), 32 Gb/s switching capacity, and 23.8 Mpps forwarding rate. With 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and 16 GB flash storage, it supports advanced L2 features, IPv6 addressing, static routing, ACL enforcement, QoS, IGMP snooping, and robust security settings×including SSH, RADIUS, TACACS+ and SSL

Advanced Options

Management flexibility includes Web GUI, CLI, RESTful API support, ArubaNetEdit, ArubaCentral integration, and SNMP v1/v2c/v3 automation. A fanless design ensures silent operation in office spaces without sacrificing reliability or performance Installation is streamlined with colorless ports and Zero Touch Provisioning for fast rollout with minimal configuration. ArubaAOS-CX OS ensures configuration stability and modern operational practices, including QoS for traffic prioritization, access control lists, IPv6 support, and static routing capabilities. Zero Touch Provisioning and ArubaNetEdit simplify multi-device configuration, reducing deployment time. Integrated REST APIs and ArubaCentral support facilitate automation and remote management. Compliance with enterprise security protocols×SSH, RADIUS, TACACS+, SSL, LLDP-MED, TPM×and layer 2 protocols such as LACP, MSTP/ RSTP, and sFlow ensure the switch meets organizational governance requirements

Reliability & Performance

This switch is engineered for resilience and steady performance even under full PoE load. Its fanless design enhances reliability (no mechanical failure points), enabling quiet deployment in workspaces, classrooms, or retail front-of-house areas. The underlying ASIC delivers consistent packet performance (~23.8 Mpps) and low switching latency (~2.3-2.6 µs), even on overlapping traffic flows or multicast heavy workloads With a reliable internal power supply and temperature tolerance (0-45 °C), this switch maintains uptime in edge deployments. PoE features support a wide range of endpoint devices, while silent operation supports deployment in noise-sensitive areas. Arubalifetime warranty (on new units) and wide global support further enhance peace of mind.
