HPE Aruba 8360 48x 5GBase-T 4x 50G SFP56 Line Module

The HPE Aruba 8360 48x 5GBase-T 4x 50G SFP56 Line Module (R0X41A) is a high-performance expansion module designed for Aruba 8360 Series switches. It provides 48 ports of 5GBASE-T Ethernet and 4 ports of 50 Gigabit SFP56 fiber connectivity, enabling high-speed wired networking for enterprise environments.

Advantages

This line module delivers exceptional throughput and flexibility, supporting both copper and fiber connections. With 5GBASE-T ports, it leverages existing Cat5e/6 cabling for cost-effective upgrades, while the 50G SFP56 uplinks ensure high-bandwidth aggregation. Hot-swappable design minimizes downtime during maintenance or expansion.

Suitable for

• Enterprise campus networks requiring high-density 5G connectivity
• Data center top-of-rack or aggregation deployments
• Upgrading existing Gigabit Ethernet networks to 5G speeds
• Environments needing both copper and fiber connectivity
