Aruba 2050 28-Port Gigabit and Multi-Gig Switch

Connect standard wired endpoints through 20 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports while retaining four Smart Rate interfaces that operate at 1 or 2.5 Gbps. This Aruba 2050 switch also provides four SFP ports supporting 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps connections. The interface mix supports deployments where endpoint access, higher-speed copper connections, and SFP-based links are needed from one switch. The 20 Gigabit copper ports suit wired devices that negotiate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps. Four Smart Rate ports add 1/2.5GbE connectivity for equipment that requires more than standard Gigabit Ethernet but does not need a 10GbE interface. Four SFP ports provide a separate set of 1GbE or 2.5GbE connection points for compatible SFP transceivers and network links. S6X69A#ABA is the US English-localized ordering configuration. Its defining interface arrangement is 20 standard 10/100/1000BASE-T ports plus four 1/2.5GbE Smart Rate ports and four 1/2.5GbE SFP ports. That separation makes the port roles easy to map: conventional copper device access on the Gigabit ports, faster copper connectivity on Smart Rate, and SFP connectivity on the four fiber-capable interface slots.
