Aruba CX 4100i 12p 1GbE 8p Class4 PoE and 4p Class6 PoE 2p SFP+ DIN Mount Switch

The Aruba JL817A is a DIN mount network switch designed for sites where dust, vibration, or extreme temperatures would overwhelm a typical wiring-closet model. It provides 12 copper Ethernet ports and splits power capabilities so that eight ports can supply up to 30 watts each, while four ports can push up to 60 watts for devices such as outdoor access points, PTZ cameras, or industrial sensors. Two SFP+ slots add fiber or copper uplinks at 1 or 10 gigabits per second, making it easy to backhaul traffic to the core without bottlenecks.

Because the switch is fanless and compact enough for standard DIN rails, it installs neatly inside control panels, roadside cabinets, or factory floors where rack space and cooling are scarce. The operating range from -40 to 75 °C allows it to remain online in freezer warehouses, roof-top enclosures, or hot manufacturing zones without extra climate control. Both AC and DC power inputs are supported, so you can tap the most convenient source already present in the panel.

Under the hood, a dual-core ARM processor with 4 GB of memory and 32 GB of storage runs the same AOS-CX software found on larger Aruba switches. That means network engineers can apply familiar CLI commands, Web GUI workflows, and Aruba Central cloud management without a separate license. The consistent toolset shortens deployment time and simplifies ongoing monitoring across campus, branch, and industrial sites.

Whether you are extending Wi-Fi into a warehouse aisle, powering security cameras along a perimeter fence, or connecting IoT sensors on an assembly line, the Aruba JL817A delivers reliable Layer 2 switching, ample PoE power, and high uplink bandwidth in a form factor built for challenging spaces.
