About the Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C Switch
L2/L3 switching with BGP/OSPF routing and VXLAN/EVPN fabric capability determines the role this platform plays in your data center or campus core. The Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C Switch (part number R9W13A) delivers enterprise-grade performance with 48 ports of 25GbE connectivity paired with 6 ports of 100GbE uplink capacity, enabling network engineers and infrastructure teams to consolidate access and aggregation layers without sacrificing throughput. With a non-blocking switching fabric delivering 26.4 Tbps, this platform sustains line-rate forwarding across all interfaces simultaneously.
Built by Aruba for mission-critical deployments, the CX 10000 series incorporates redundant hot-swap power supplies rated at 2200W each and redundant hot-swap cooling to eliminate single points of failure. The unit operates across the standard enterprise temperature range of 0–40 °C and fits standard EIA-310 19-inch racks in a compact 1U or 2U form factor depending on configuration. Management is delivered through Aruba Central or direct on-box CLI access, giving operations teams flexibility in how they monitor and configure the switch. The lifetime hardware warranty reflects Aruba's confidence in long-term platform stability. Network architects and IT procurement teams responsible for high-density, low-latency fabric design will find the uplink options—6 x 100GbE QSFP28 or 2 x 400GbE QSFP-DD—flexible enough to adapt to future bandwidth demands.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Data center core and aggregation switching for organizations consolidating multiple access layers into fewer, higher-capacity nodes
- High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnect, leveraging 26.4 Tbps fabric capacity for latency-sensitive workloads
- Campus backbone and WAN aggregation where redundancy and non-blocking performance are mandatory
- Multi-tenant cloud infrastructure requiring stateful L2/L3 segmentation and dynamic fabric scaling
- Financial services and healthcare networks where uptime and deterministic latency drive hardware selection

Frequently Asked Questions about Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C Switch
Does the Aruba CX 10000-48Y6C Switch support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations before shipping, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises at delivery.
Is the warranty global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware warranty is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
