Detailed Specifications
HPE S0U61A - Aruba CX 5420 24-Port 1 Gb RJ-45 Access Module
Overview
The HPE S0U61A is a 24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 line card built for the Aruba CX 5420 modular chassis. It's a straightforward, non-PoE access layer module that delivers cost-efficient gigabit connectivity where power over Ethernet isn't required. Ideal for access closets, campus edge, or branch deployments, this card plugs into the 5420 chassis and leverages the AOS-CX operating system for full Layer-3 routing, automation, and VSX high-availability. Because it's part of the modular chassis, it provides growth flexibility × mix it with other cards (PoE, fiber, high-speed) as your network evolves.
Key Features
24 × 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports × reliable gigabit access for non-PoE devices.
Gen-7 ASIC architecture × delivers wire-speed performance, low latency, and efficient packet processing.
Layer-3 switching with AOS-CX × supports OSPF, static routing, ACLs, and automation.
Front-to-back airflow design × aligns with the CX 5420 chassis cooling for efficient thermal management.
