JL724A - Aruba 6200F 24G 4SFP+ Switch

Aruba JL724A — CX 6200F 24×1G Access with 4×10G SFP+ Uplinks (Non-PoE)

What it is

An Aruba CX 6200F Series access switch built for enterprise branches, SMB, and campus edge that want modern AOS-CX operations plus real stacking.
JL724A is the 24-port, non-PoE model: 24 × 1GbE RJ-45 downlinks for wired clients and 4 × SFP+ uplinks that run 1G / 10G. It uses the same AOS-CX platform and operational model as the wider CX family, so it drops cleanly into CX-based networks.

Why buyers pick JL724A (plain English)

• Enterprise access without PoE cost
  Ideal where endpoints don’t need power (desktops, printers, POS, lab gear).

• 10G uplinks included
  Four SFP+ uplinks keep access-to-core links fast without buying a bigger chassis.

• Real stacking at the edge (VSF)
  Stack up to 8 switches into a single logical unit for simpler growth and day-2 ops.

• AOS-CX + analytics/telemetry
  Same CX CLI, automation hooks, and visibility you get on higher-tier CX switches.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Branch/campus access needing 24×1G to clients

• Sites that want 10G uplinks + VSF stacking, but no PoE

• Enterprise access closets where visibility/automation matter

Choose something else if:

• You need powered ports → go CX 6200F PoE variants

• You need hot-swap PSUs/fans or heavier L3 → step up to CX 6300 class

JL724A is the CX 6200F “24-port gigabit edge with 10G uplinks + VSF stacking” switch:
24×1G copper, 4×10G SFP+, AOS-CX operations, and stackable enterprise access—without PoE overhead.
