HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325H - Switch, Black

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325H 16p QSFP28 40G/100G TAA (S2T48A) switch is a fixed-port, managed Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for high-throughput data centres. The device provides 16 QSFP28 fibre ports that support 40G and 100G Ethernet. It features a switching capacity of 6,400 Gbit/s to accommodate high-capacity traffic in aggregation or top-of-rack roles. The switch maintains line-rate forwarding across all active ports and can be deployed as a core or end-of-row solution within network fabrics.

The switch operates in temperatures up to 45°C. Power requirements include an AC input voltage between 100 and 240 V, with a typical power consumption of 114 W and a maximum of 500 W. The 7.8 kg chassis is compatible with standard rack mounting. This model is TAA-compliant for regulated procurement and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
