Smart-Rate PoE Access Switching for the Network Edge
The HPE Aruba 6200M (R8Q71A) is a 48-port Layer 3 access switch that mixes 36 Gigabit PoE ports with 12 multi-gig Smart Rate ports running up to 5G, all with Class 6 PoE and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. It brings managed Layer 3 capability and a 1440 W PoE budget to wiring closets without the cost of a higher-tier core switch. Find it in our HPE lineup within the broader Network Switches range.
The blend of standard gigabit and 5G Smart Rate ports lets you power and connect a mix of everyday endpoints and higher-throughput Wi-Fi access points from one switch, with 10G uplinks carrying traffic to the core.
