Overview

The HPE JL624A is a bundled configuration of the Aruba 8325‑48Y8C fixed‑port switch designed for high‑density leaf/aggregation or campus core roles, offering 48 ports of 25 GbE (SFP28) and 8 ports of 100 GbE (QSFP28) in a compact 1‑rack‑unit form factor. With up to 6.4 Tbps of switching capacity and 2,000 Mpps forwarding, it addresses emerging network demands for 25G/100G connectivity in data centres and campus aggregation. The bundle includes hot‑swappable PSUs and fans, and is tailored for front‑to‑back airflow environments. It’s appropriate for enterprises undergoing 25G infrastructure deployment or looking to future‑proof uplinks with 100G breakout capability.

Key Features

• 48 ports of 25 GbE SFP28 plus 8 ports of 100 GbE QSFP28 deliver high‑density, high‑speed connectivity in a 1U footprint.

• Redundant power supplies and six front‐to‐back hot‑swappable fan modules ensure availability in top‑of‑rack (ToR) or aggregation racks.
