Aruba 5406R 44GT PoE+ and 4 port SFP+ (No PSU) v3 zl2 Switch

The Aruba JL003A is a 5406R v3 zl2 switch that combines high performance with a modular chassis, making it a solid choice for campus cores, branch aggregation, or any environment that needs plenty of Power over Ethernet and room to grow. Forty-four PoE+ ports deliver both data and power to devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, security cameras, and building automation gear, while four SFP+ slots provide 10 Gb uplinks to your core or storage network.

The chassis accepts interchangeable interface modules, so you can expand to as many as 144 Gigabit ports or 48 10 Gb ports over time. Virtual Switching Framework stacking and hitless failover allow you to add or update units with minimal disruption, which is valuable in settings where downtime translates directly into lost productivity or dissatisfied guests.

A switching capacity of 960 Gbps and throughput up to 571 million packets per second keep traffic moving smoothly even when the network is under heavy load. Integrated Layer 3 routing supports dynamic protocols, enabling the switch to act as both an access layer workhorse and a resilient distribution platform. A dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and 4 GB of RAM handle control-plane tasks without bottlenecks.

The fan tray and management module come preinstalled, but you will need at least one compatible power supply before deployment. Choosing the right PSU lets you match power budgets to your PoE requirements, whether you are supporting a handful of phones or a building full of access points.
