HPE Aruba 5Y FC CTR 5120-16G SI Care Pack U6KX0E

Keep essential access-layer switching in service through predictable, factory-backed maintenance. This 5 Year Foundation Care Pack (U6KX0E) provides 24x7x6-hour call-to-repair on-site response for the HPE 5120-16G SI switch. Coverage includes parts replacement and parts & labor service by HPE field engineers, reducing repair cycles and protecting network availability under heavy production loads. Buyers get an on-site maintenance contract designed for racks supporting voice, wireless and campus aggregation where fast restoration matters but full hardware replacement windows are 6 hours. The Care Pack preserves OEM warranty continuity, ensures genuine HPE parts, and keeps firmware and hardware servicing aligned with vendor recommendations. Compared with basic break-fix, this plan reduces administrative overhead for procurement and gives procurement and operations teams a predictable cost profile for the switching estate. This SKU is ideal for enterprise campus and SMB aggregation sites that require high availability without the cost and operational impact of immediate exchange programs. Activation and dispatch are managed through HPE support channels; transferability and activation timing depend on HPE’s registration and the serial-numbered asset being in-scope.
