Key Features

16 x SFP/SFP+/SFP28 interfaces for 1G, 10G, and 25G links
2 x QSFP+/QSFP28 interfaces for 40G and 100G connectivity
AOS-CX network operating system
v2 hardware revision
Connect 16 devices at up to 25 Gbps through SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 interfaces.

Concentrate server, storage, and aggregation traffic on sixteen 25 Gigabit-capable pluggable interfaces, then hand off high-volume flows through two 100 Gigabit-capable QSFP interfaces. Aruba JL718C corresponds to the HPE Aruba Networking CX 8360-16Y2C v2, a fixed-port switch for network locations where 25G edge density and 100G fabric connectivity must coexist in one platform. The sixteen data interfaces accept SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 transceiver formats, supporting deployment choices around 1G, 10G, and 25G link speeds. Its two QSFP+/QSFP28 interfaces provide 40G or 100G connectivity for upstream switching, core attachment, or high-bandwidth inter-switch paths. This interface mix avoids consuming 25G server-facing ports for fabric uplinks. Use the SFP-class ports to match the media selected for each attached device while reserving QSFP-class interfaces for traffic concentration at the distribution or aggregation tier. Run it where host-facing connections have moved beyond 10G but the aggregation layer still needs compact high-speed handoffs. The CX 8360 family uses the Aruba AOS-CX network operating system, making this model suited to environments standardized on AOS-CX management and switching operations. The v2 designation differentiates this hardware revision while retaining the 16-by-25G and 2-by-100G port arrangement for dense fabric roles.

Ideal For

Data-center server and storage aggregation with 25G host-facing connectivity
Campus distribution deployments requiring 100G uplinks to a core layer
High-bandwidth inter-switch connections between aggregation domains

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 8360-16Y2C v2 and JL718C?▾

8360-16Y2C v2 names the switch model and hardware revision. JL718C is the Aruba ordering code for that same configuration. Both references point to the version with sixteen 25G SFP-class interfaces and two 100G QSFP-class interfaces.

What transceiver formats does the Aruba 8360-16Y2C v2 support?▾

The sixteen primary data interfaces are specified for SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 formats, covering 1G, 10G, and 25G connections. The two high-speed interfaces use QSFP+ or QSFP28 formats for 40G or 100G network links.

How many 100G connections are available on JL718C?▾

JL718C provides two QSFP+/QSFP28 interfaces specified for 100G connectivity. These ports can connect the switch to an aggregation layer, core switch, or another high-bandwidth switching domain without using the sixteen 25G SFP-class interfaces.

Where does a 16-port 25G switch fit in a network?▾

This port layout fits server, storage, and aggregation roles where many attached devices need 25G links and the upstream network uses 100G fabric connections. It also supports mixed 1G, 10G, and 25G connectivity through its SFP-class interfaces.
