Aruba 2930F 48-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch

The Aruba JL262A#ABA is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch designed for organizations that want easy deployment, dependable performance, and room to grow. It delivers Layer 3 functionality along with a 370 W PoE+ budget, so a single unit can power wireless access points, IP phones, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices without the need for external injectors.

Each of the 48 RJ-45 ports is autosensing, which simplifies installation for mixed 10/100/1000 client environments. Four SFP slots provide 1 Gb per second fiber uplinks, giving you flexible options for connecting to aggregation switches or extending links to remote closets. A switching capacity of 104 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 77.4 Mpps help ensure that high-volume traffic stays fluid during busy periods.

Aruba Virtual Switching Framework allows several 2930F units to appear as one logical switch, making it easier to expand port density while maintaining consistent configurations. Built-in support for RIP and Access OSPF lets the switch handle inter-VLAN routing locally, which is helpful for branch offices or small campus sites that need quick route convergence without a dedicated router. Centralized management through Aruba Central and policy enforcement with ClearPass give network administrators the visibility and control they expect from an enterprise platform.

Energy-saving features reduce operating costs, and the switch’s low latency benefits real-time applications such as voice or video. Whether it sits at the edge of a corporate campus, supports a retail floor, or anchors a classroom network, the Aruba 2930F delivers reliable wired connectivity and flexible power where it is needed most.
