Overview
The HPE JL703C is a 1-rack-unit (1U) fixed-port switch in the Aruba CX 8360 v2 family, configured for 16 ports of 1/10/25 GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) and 2 ports of 40/100 GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28). It delivers up to approximately 4.8 Tbps switching capacity, supports advanced features like MACsec encryption and the embedded Network Analytics Engine (NAE). This makes it well suited for campus-core, aggregation or leaf deployments in data-centre racks where you need high-density 25G access and uplinks to 100G. The back-to-front airflow variant (3 fans, dual AC PSUs) aligns with containment, rack cooling and serviceability practices.
