High-Power Multi-Gig PoE for the Modern Access Layer
The HPE Aruba CX 6300M (R8S90A) is a Layer 3 managed switch with 48 ports of HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit (1G/2.5G/5G) Class 8 PoE, plus a mix of 50G and 25G uplinks. With a 2880 W PoE budget and up to 90 W per port, it powers the most demanding Wi-Fi 6E/7 access points and devices over standard copper. Find it in our HPE lineup within the broader Network Switches range.
Smart Rate multi-gig is the key here: the access ports auto-negotiate 1G, 2.5G, or 5G over existing cabling, so high-throughput wireless and endpoints get more than gigabit without a recabling project, while 50G and 25G uplinks feed the core.
Where the HPE Aruba CX 6300M Fits
- Wi-Fi 6E/7 access layers: Class 8 PoE and multi-gig ports power and feed high-end APs.
- Multi-gig copper upgrades: 1/2.5/5G Smart Rate over existing cabling.
- High-bandwidth uplinks: 50G and 25G uplinks to a fast core, with VSF stacking.
