Aruba Networking CX 6200F 12G Class4 PoE 2G/2SFP+ 139W Switch

The Aruba R8Q72A#ABA is a Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for branch offices, small campuses, and growing businesses that need dependable wired connectivity and built-in Power over Ethernet. Twelve Class 4 PoE+ ports let you run wireless access points, IP phones, cameras, or sensors without separate power bricks. Each port supplies up to 30 watts, and the switch offers a 139-watt PoE budget in total, so you can support multiple high-draw devices at the same time.

For uplinks, the switch includes two dedicated RJ45 Gigabit ports along with two SFP+ slots that accept 1 G or 10 G fiber modules. This mix of copper and fiber options makes it easy to tie the edge of your network to an aggregation or core switch today and step up to higher backhaul speeds later.

A 1.2 GHz quad-core ARM processor works with 8 GB of RAM and 16 GB of flash storage to deliver Layer 3 routing and up to 68 Gbps of switching throughput. Voice, video, and data traffic flow smoothly, even when the network is busy.

The switch uses a design with no fans, so it runs silently—ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, retail counters, or healthcare offices where noise is a concern. Setup and troubleshooting are straightforward through either the USB-C or RJ-45 console port, the intuitive web interface, or the Aruba mobile app. If your network grows, you can stack up to eight CX 6200F units and administer them as one.

Aruba backs the switch with a limited lifetime warranty, giving you confidence that your investment is protected for the long haul.
