HP Aruba 6300L 48-Port Smart Rate PoE Layer 2 Switch

Provide Smart Rate connectivity for high-density wired access deployments with 48 Ethernet ports supporting 1G, 2.5G, and 5G link speeds. The Aruba Networking 6300L platform accommodates endpoint estates where 1G remains in place alongside devices that require Multi-Gigabit access. Class 8/6 PoE support allows the switch to supply power across the access layer while carrying endpoint traffic through the same Ethernet connection. Two 50G ports and two 10G ports provide dedicated higher-speed network connections beyond the 48 Smart Rate access ports. This port arrangement suits deployments that need to aggregate substantial access-layer traffic toward distribution or core infrastructure while retaining separate 10G connectivity where it is required. Layer 2 switching positions the unit for Ethernet forwarding within a defined access network. S3L77A specifically combines 48 Smart Rate 1G/2.5G/5G ports, Class 8/6 PoE, two 50G ports, and two 10G ports in the 6300L family. Those interfaces distinguish it from configurations built around fixed-speed access connectivity or lower-speed network connections. Select it when endpoint density, Multi-Gigabit access, PoE classification, and the available 50G and 10G port mix match the network design.
