HPE S3L75A Aruba CX 6300L 24p Smart Rate PoE Switch
Overview
The HPE S3L75A is a stackable access switch from the Aruba CX 6300L series, engineered for the modern enterprise campus, branch office, and data center top-of-rack deployments. It addresses the growing demand for high-speed, high-power connectivity driven by the latest generation of wireless access points, IoT devices, and high-performance workstations. This switch provides a reliable and scalable foundation for networks requiring multi-gigabit performance and simplified management. At its core, the S3L75A features HPE Smart Rate technology, allowing its 24 host ports to automatically negotiate speeds of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10GbE over standard twisted-pair cabling. This ensures seamless backward compatibility with legacy devices while future-proofing the network for next-generation technology. Combined with high-power Class 6 Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing up to 60W per port, it can directly power advanced devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras and Wi-Fi 6E access points without requiring separate power infrastructure. Designed for operational efficiency and scalability, this 1U switch can be deployed as a standalone unit or stacked with up to ten other switches using HPE’s Virtual Switching Framework (VSF), creating a single logical device for simplified management. This stackable architecture allows for pay-as-you-grow expansion without increasing administrative complexity. Management is further streamlined through the cloud-native HPE Aruba Networking Central platform, which provides a single point of visibility and control for the entire network infrastructure.
