HPE R0X24-61001 Aruba CX 6400/6405 Modular Switch Chassis
Overview
The HPE R0X24-61001 is a rack-mount modular chassis designed for the Aruba CX 6400 Series in enterprise campus or data-centre deployments. It provides a base platform with multiple module slots allowing switching, uplink, PoE or line-card expansion, solving the problem of fixed-port switches by enabling future growth without full chassis replacement. The chassis supports hot-swappable fan trays, management modules and redundant power supplies to maintain high availability under load. It is suited for access-aggregation layers or flexible campus backbone racks requiring modular growth, high port densities, multi-gig access and modern switching services.
