HPE CX 8360v2 8360-16Y2C Ethernet Switch

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360 v2 Switch Series offers a flexible and innovative approach to addressing the application, security, and scalability demands of the mobile, cloud, and IoT era. These switches serve the needs of the next-generation core and aggregation layer of campuses, as well as virtual and highly dynamic data center environments. They provide up to 4.8Tbps of capacity, with line-rate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces including support for Smart Rate (1/2.5, 5 Gbps), 10Gbps, 25Gbps, 40Gbps, 50 Gbps, and 100Gbps.

The CX 8360 series includes industry leading line rate ports with 1/10/25/50GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) and 40/100GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28) connectivity in a compact 1U form factor.

4x10Gbps and 4x25Gbps break out from 40/100G ports offer advanced flexibility in connectivity and aggregation. These switches deliver a fantastic investment for customers wanting to migrate from older 1GbE/10GbE to faster 25GbE, or from 10GbE/40GbE uplinks to 50/100GbE ports.

In addition, the 48 and 32 x 25G port 8360 models support low-density MACsec ports and enable secured connectivity at 10GbE and 25GbE over unsecured domains. MACsec is also supported on 2 high-speed 40/100G ports on the CX 8360 48-port model.
