Aruba CX 6100 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ 139W Switch

The Aruba JL679A#ABA is a switch with a compact design that delivers twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports with Class 4 PoE power, two additional 1 GbE copper ports, and two SFP+ slots for fiber uplinks. It lets you connect laptops, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras while supplying up to 139 watts of power through the same network cables. Because the chassis relies on passive cooling and no fans, it operates silently, making it a natural fit for deskside installations, retail cabinets, or any shared office where noise is a concern.

Inside, a dual core ARM Cortex A9 processor running at 1.016 GHz works with 4 GB of DDR3 memory and 16 GB of flash storage to keep traffic flowing smoothly. The switch offers 68 Gbps of switching capacity and forwards up to 45.1 million packets per second, so voice, video, and data all stay responsive even during peak hours. Support for VLAN segmentation, static routing, and IPv6 gives you the tools to shape traffic and prepare for future growth without a hardware replacement.

Day-to-day management is straightforward. You can use the USB-C console port for direct setup, plug a drive into the USB-A host port for firmware or script updates, or administer the switch through your existing network tools. With its 1.73 by 10 by 10.4 inch footprint and an included limited lifetime warranty, the Aruba JL679A#ABA integrates easily into branch offices, classrooms, healthcare clinics, and other environments that need reliable edge connectivity without additional noise or clutter.
