HPE JL703C – Aruba CX 8360‑16Y2C v2 1U Fixed‑Port Switch
Overview
The HPE JL703C is a 1‑rack‑unit (1U) fixed‑port switch in the Aruba CX 8360 v2 family, configured for 16 ports of 1/10/25 GbE (SFP/SFP+/SFP28) and 2 ports of 40/100 GbE (QSFP+/QSFP28). It delivers up to approximately 4.8 Tbps switching capacity, supports advanced features like MACsec encryption and the embedded Network Analytics Engine (NAE). This makes it well suited for campus‑core, aggregation or leaf deployments in data‑centre racks where you need high‑density 25G access and uplinks to 100G. The back‑to‑front airflow variant (3 fans, dual AC PSUs) aligns with containment, rack cooling and serviceability practices.
