HPE Aruba JL323A 2930M PoE 48 ports Ethernet Switch

Detailed Specifications

The HPE Aruba JL323A is a high-performance, stackable Layer 3 access switch engineered for the enterprise campus edge, branch offices, and SMB environments. It is designed to create smart, digital workplaces optimized for mobile users and the proliferation of IoT devices. This switch addresses the need for a scalable and secure access layer by providing high-density PoE+ and multi-gigabit connectivity, preparing networks for next-generation wireless access points and bandwidth-intensive applications. Its flexible architecture ensures long-term value and investment protection. At its core, the switch is powered by a robust ProVision ASIC, which delivers low latency, increased packet buffering, and adaptive power consumption. It features 36 ports of 1GbE PoE+, 8 HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports (1/2.5/5/10GbE) with PoE+, and 4 combo SFP/Ethernet ports, making it ideal for connecting high-speed 802.11ac and Wi-Fi 6 access points. The inclusion of HPE Smart Rate technology allows organizations to leverage existing cabling infrastructure to achieve multi-gigabit speeds, eliminating the need for costly and disruptive cable replacements. Designed for simplicity and scalability, the JL323A can be deployed as a single unit or stacked with up to ten chassis, managed as a single entity for operational efficiency. Its 1U rack-mountable form factor is ideal for wiring closets and compact spaces. Management is streamlined through Aruba AirWave, cloud-based Aruba Central with Zero Touch Provisioning, or a traditional command-line interface. This flexibility, combined with modular slots for 10GbE or 40GbE uplinks and redundant power supplies, makes it a versatile and resilient foundation for modern wired and wireless networks.
