Overview

The HPE Aruba CX 8360‑12C V2 (model JL709C) is a high‑density managed switch designed for modern data‑centre and campus core/aggregation layers that demand 100‑Gbps connectivity across multiple ports. It provides twelve QSFP+/QSFP28 ports for 40/100 Gb links (or breakouts) and supports switching capacity up to approximately 4.8 Tbps in the series. With front‑to‑back or back‑to‑front airflow bundles it’s suitable for top‑of‑rack (TOR), end‑of‑row (EOR) or leaf/spine fabrics in virtualised/high‑bandwidth environments. It runs the Aruba OS‑CX software and integrates with the broader Aruba/HPE network ecosystem for automation, analytics and high availability. Ideal for aggregating server racks, fabric links or high‑performance uplinks moving from 10/25 Gb to 40/100 Gb speeds.
