Key Features

48 x 10GBase-T access ports
6 x QSFP28 uplink ports
High-density data center switching
Designed for leaf-spine and top-of-rack use
Copper 10G connectivity for servers and appliances
Uplink architecture suited to aggregation layers

Move more traffic with fewer bottlenecks using the Aruba 5940 48XGT 6QSFP28 switch. This platform is built for environments where 1G access is no longer enough and 10G server connectivity has become the baseline. With 48 10GBase-T ports, it gives you dense copper connectivity for servers, storage, and high-bandwidth appliances. The 6 QSFP28 uplinks provide the bandwidth headroom needed for aggregation, spine connectivity, or high-speed upstream links in modern data center architectures. That makes this switch a strong fit for leaf-spine fabrics, top-of-rack deployments, and edge aggregation layers where oversubscription can quickly become a constraint. Compared with lower-tier switching, the 5940 class is about preserving throughput under load and keeping the network ready for growth. It is the kind of platform infrastructure teams choose when port density, uplink speed, and rack-level consolidation matter more than entry-level pricing. For organizations standardizing on 10G and preparing for 25G/100G pathways, this switch provides a practical bridge between current server connectivity and higher-speed fabric design.

Ideal For

Top-of-rack switching for 10G server connectivity
Leaf-spine fabric uplinks in data center networks
Aggregation for storage and virtualization clusters
High-throughput edge switching for compute-heavy environments

Why This Product

1Higher access density than typical 1G or mixed-speed switches
2QSFP28 uplinks support faster aggregation and fabric growth
3Built for data center edge use rather than office access

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this switch different from access-layer models?▾

It is designed for high-speed data center connectivity with 48 10GBase-T ports and 6 QSFP28 uplinks, not basic office access.

Is this a good fit for top-of-rack deployments?▾

Yes. The port density and uplink mix are well suited to top-of-rack designs in compute-heavy environments.

What kind of uplinks does it provide?▾

It includes 6 QSFP28 uplink ports for high-bandwidth aggregation or upstream connectivity.

Why choose this over a lower-cost switch?▾

You get 10G access density and 100G-class uplink capability, which helps avoid early bottlenecks as server and storage traffic grows.
