Description
The HPE Aruba Networking CX 9300S (S0F88A) is a high-performance 1U fixed switch delivering 25.6Tbps switching capacity. With 32 QSFP28 100GbE and 8 QSFP-DD 400GbE ports, it’s ideal for dense, scalable, and power-efficient data center networks transitioning to 100G/400G EVPN-VXLAN fabrics.
Designed for future-ready server and storage connectivity, it supports breakout capabilities (4x25G/2x200G/4x100G), lossless Ethernet for storage, and advanced telemetry via Aruba’s Network Analytics Engine (NAE). This back-to-front airflow model includes 6 fan trays and 2 DC power supplies, optimized for high-density spine deployments.
