Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8100 40x10GBase-T 8x10G SFP+ 4x100G QSFP28 Switch (R9W93A#B2C) is purpose-built for enterprise campus cores and top-of-rack (ToR) deployments. Offering 1.76 Tbps of switching capacity and 1,309 Mpps forwarding, this advanced Layer 3 managed switch provides high-density 10/25/100G interfaces for maximum scalability and flexibility.
Designed with Aruba’s modern, modular AOS-CX architecture, it delivers high availability via VSX (Virtual Switching Extension), redundant fans and power supplies, and intelligent monitoring through the embedded Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE). This switch also supports software-defined automation via REST APIs and Aruba Fabric Composer for simplified provisioning and operations.
With 40x multi-rate 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBase-T ports, 8x SFP+ (10G), and 4x QSFP+/QSFP28 (40G/100G) uplinks, the R9W93A#B2C model is ready for demanding networking environments requiring performance, visibility, and seamless integration.
