US English localization
Connect up to 8 Smart Rate 10G-capable Ethernet devices at the network edge.

Connect high-speed copper endpoints and powered edge devices with an eight-port Aruba Instant On 1940 switch built around Smart Rate 10G connectivity. The switch provides eight Smart Rate 10G ports for access-layer connections, with four ports supporting Class 6 PoE. Its 120 W PoE budget supports powered devices without requiring separate local power at each endpoint. Two SFP+ ports provide dedicated fiber connectivity for uplinks or aggregation links. This port mix suits compact network closets and distributed work areas that need copper device connections alongside fiber handoff capability. Use the Smart Rate ports for compatible high-bandwidth devices while reserving the SFP+ interfaces for upstream network connections. Aruba S4A36A#ABA combines eight Smart Rate 10G access ports, four Class 6 PoE-capable ports, two SFP+ interfaces, and a 120 W power budget in the Instant On 1940 family. That combination distinguishes it for installations that need both higher-speed edge connectivity and powered endpoint support rather than a copper-only switch or a switch without fiber uplinks. The US English localization aligns this ordering code with US deployments.

How many powered devices can this switch connect?▾

Four ports support Class 6 PoE, allowing the switch to connect up to four compatible powered endpoints directly through its PoE-capable access ports. The shared power allocation for those endpoints is 120 W.

What uplink interfaces are available on the Aruba Instant On 1940?▾

The switch includes two SFP+ ports. These interfaces provide fiber connectivity for an upstream switch, aggregation connection, or another compatible SFP+ network link while the eight Smart Rate ports serve connected edge devices.

Where does an 8-port Smart Rate 10G PoE switch fit in a network?▾

It fits at the access layer in a compact network closet, branch office, or distributed work area where higher-speed copper devices need connectivity and selected wireless or surveillance endpoints require PoE. The SFP+ ports support fiber connections toward the rest of the network.
