HPE R0X41A - Access Line-Card for Aruba CX 6400 Series
Overview
The HPE R0X41A is a plug-in access line-card designed for the Aruba CX 6400 chassis family, targeted at wiring-closet and campus access layers where you need both multi-gig copper ports and high-capacity uplinks. If you're deploying a frame in your access rack and want to support wired devices at 1/2.5/5 Gbps (Smart Rate) with PoE+, plus uplink links at 50 Gb each, this module gives you 48 access ports and 4 SFP56 uplinks. It fits into the chassis backplane and uses the shared management, power and cooling infrastructure of the CX 6400 system. This card is ideal for high-density access deployments feeding multi-gig APs, workstations or IP cameras with future-proof uplinks to the aggregation or core layer.
Key Features
48 copper RJ-45 ports supporting 1/2.5/5 Gbps Smart Rate speeds with PoE+ capability.
4 × SFP56 uplink ports rated at 50 Gbps each, enabling high‐capacity backhaul from the access module.
Designed for the Aruba CX 6400 chassis modules, allowing module-reuse of infrastructure and consistent operation.
PoE class support up to Class 6 (≈ 60 W per port) for powering demanding endpoints.
Copper multi-gig access (5Gb) plus high-speed uplinks in one module×helps avoid multiple smaller switches and uplink bottlenecks.
