Aruba S4A32A#ABA 24-Port PoE Multi-Gigabit Switch

Connect a mixed-speed access layer without forcing 2.5G-capable devices onto Gigabit-only ports. This Aruba Instant On switch provides 20 Gigabit Ethernet Class 4 PoE ports for standard wired endpoints and four Smart Rate 2.5G Class 6 PoE ports for devices that need more than 1 GbE. The Smart Rate ports suit high-throughput wireless access points, multi-gig workstations, and other powered devices that benefit from 2.5G connectivity. Four SFP+ ports add 10G fiber connectivity for uplinks to a distribution switch, server storage network, or aggregation point. Keeping these interfaces separate from the copper access ports preserves the full 24-port powered-edge complement while allowing the switch to connect upstream at higher speed. The 370 W PoE budget supports a substantial mix of powered devices across the copper interfaces. Aruba S4A32A#ABA fits deployments that need both conventional Gigabit access and a limited number of 2.5G PoE connections in one switch. Its port mix distinguishes it from all-Gigabit access configurations: the four Smart Rate Class 6 ports address higher-bandwidth powered endpoints, while the four SFP+ interfaces provide 10G uplink flexibility. This combination is suited to offices, retail sites, and branch networks expanding Wi-Fi capacity without replacing every copper endpoint.
