Keep industrial access layers online where standard switches fall short. The Aruba CX 4100i 24G CL4/6 POE 4SFP is built for edge deployments that need reliable Gigabit connectivity, PoE delivery, and fiber uplinks in demanding environments. With 24 copper ports, 4 SFP+ slots, and a 240 W PoE budget, this switch is designed to power access points, cameras, sensors, and other powered devices without adding separate injectors. Layer 3 support gives network teams more control at the edge, while manageable operation fits into enterprise switching workflows. The ruggedized, rack-mountable 1U form factor makes it suitable for industrial closets, manufacturing areas, and distributed sites where vibration, temperature swings, and space constraints matter. For teams standardizing on Aruba switching, this model brings the port density and uplink flexibility needed to extend secure access beyond the office floor. It is a strong fit when uptime, PoE headroom, and fiber expansion matter more than commodity switch pricing.
