HPE JL705C - Aruba CX 8360-48Y6C v2 48×25G + 6×100G Switch
Overview
The JL705C is a 1-rack-unit, fixed-port switch in the Aruba CX 8360 v2 family designed for campus core or data-centre aggregation roles. It provides 48 ports of 1/10/25 GbE (SFP28) plus six ports of 40/100 GbE (QSFP28) in a compact form factor. With up to ~4.8 Tbps switching capacity and embedded MACsec support, it addresses the requirement for high-density, high-speed routing and switching in modern leaf/spine or core network fabrics. The v2 architecture integrates ArubaOS-CX for full L2/L3 services, analytics (Network Analytics Engine), automation and redundancy readiness.
Key Features
48×25 GbE ports plus 6×100 GbE ports in a 1U form-factor offer high speed density for rack or aggregation deployments.
Up to ~4.8 Tbps switching capacity and ~2,678 Mpps throughput make it capable of handling heavy rack-to-rack or spine-layer traffic.
Embedded MACsec support (4 ports at 10/25 Gb, 2 ports at 40/100 Gb) delivers line-rate encryption for untrusted links.
1U chassis supports dual hot-swap power supplies and five hot-swap fans (for back-to-front airflow variant) enabling reliability in containment racks.
