HPE R8Q68A

Aruba CX 6200M 24G Class 4 PoE 4×SFP+ Managed Ethernet Switch

The HPE Aruba R8Q68A CX 6200M is a stackable Layer 2/3 access switch offering 24 auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports with full ClassClass 4 PoE (up to 740 W total) and four fixed 1G/10G SFP+ uplink/stacking ports. Built on Aruba Gen7 ASIC architecture, the switch is designed for enterprise branch, campus, and SMB environments seeking scalable, high-performance edge solutions with integrated PoE for devices like wireless APs and IP cameras. With advanced stacking, routing, security, QoS, and automation features, it enables streamlined deployment and centralized network segmentation and management

Features

This modular CX 6200M switch delivers non-blocking wire-rate forwarding across all ports. With switching capacity around 128 Gbps and throughput of ~95.2 Mpps, latency remains low—approximately 2.28 µs at 1 Gbps and 1.46 µs at 10 Gbps. It fully supports Aruba Virtual Stacking Framework (VSF) enabling up to eight units to behave as one logical switch, simplifying management and increasing resilience. With Aruba ‑CX, it supports robust Layer 3 features such as static routing, OSPF, and ECMP, and integrates deeply with Aruba Network Analytics Engine (NAE) for automated telemetry and troubleshooting.

Advanced Options

Engineered for continuous uptime and scalable network deployment, this switch includes fan-cooled modular design and supports hot-swappable redundant power supplies (1+1 optional) and fan trays. It weighs approximately 5.83 kg and conforms to operating environments between 0 °C and 45 °C with non‑condensing humidity.
