Aruba 6300M 48-port HPE Smart Rate 1/2.5/5GbE Class 6 PoE and 4-port SFP56 Switch

The Aruba 6300M is a purpose-built campus core switch engineered for organizations requiring extreme port density of intelligent Power-over-Ethernet at variable gigabit speeds. Each of the 48 downlink ports operates at selectable 1/2.5/5GbE rates, enabling heterogeneous endpoint connectivity while the four SFP56 uplinks (50GbE) provide high-speed fabric aggregation and redundancy. This architecture eliminates speed-mismatched port tiers, allowing unified management of dense wireless access point deployments, IP phones, IoT sensors, and video surveillance on a single switching fabric without oversubscription penalties.

Purpose-designed for campuses requiring sustained multi-gigabit PoE delivery, the 6300M delivers per-port power budgeting up to 95W aligned with emerging 802.3bt Type 4 PoE standards. The switch maintains comprehensive Layer 3 routing, advanced security services, and intelligent traffic management across the entire port population, ensuring predictable performance for mission-critical applications. Deep packet buffers and lossless Ethernet capabilities preserve application responsiveness even under bursty wireless traffic patterns typical of high-density venue deployments.

Ideal for

• University campus WiFi 6/6E infrastructure: Powering 500+ concurrent APs across multiple buildings with granular per-AP power allocation and seamless roaming
• Hospital clinical mobility: Supporting 2000+ wireless medical devices, monitors, and phones with redundant paths and sub-50ms failover for patient safety applications
• Enterprise IoT sensor networks: Sustaining thousands of powered environmental sensors, access control readers, and building automation endpoints across multi-floor facilities
• High-density video surveillance: Aggregating 200+ PoE cameras at 5GbE with local analytics, network recording, and synchronized multi-angle monitoring
• Corporate office consolidation: Replacing legacy switch stacks with single unified fabric supporting BYOD phones, tablets, and endpoints at variable speeds
• Research facilities: Enabling 10GbE-equivalent aggregate throughput for lab equipment, scientific instruments, and data acquisition systems requiring deterministic latency
