Why buyers pick JL003A (plain English)

High-density PoE+ access
44 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports power a variety of edge devices — from Wi-Fi access points and VoIP phones to cameras and IoT devices — without extra power injectors.

Flexible uplinks
4 × SFP+ ports provide high-speed fiber (or DAC) uplinks for distribution and core connectivity.

Modular and scalable
As part of the 5400R series with zl2 slots, this chassis lets you add extra line cards, uplink modules, and stacking or management modules as needed.

Enterprise-grade platform
Built for resilient 24×7 operation with Aruba feature sets, robust QoS, security, and scalability for campus and data-rich edge deployments.

Customize power
No PSU included gives you freedom to choose the right power supply count and size to match your PoE budget and redundancy policy.

Use case
High-density PoE+ access and aggregation with modular growth

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Campus and enterprise access layers needing lots of PoE+

• Growing environments that want modular uplinks and options

• Networks requiring flexible power and redundancy designs

• Enterprise stacks with managed stacking and unified configs

Choose something else if:

• You want integrated power supplies → 5406R PSU-bundled SKUs

• You need more uplink density → higher-end modules (40/100 GbE)

• You need fixed form factor with similar capability → Aruba 6300/8400 Series

TL;DR

JL003A is an Aruba 5406R 44-port Gigabit PoE+ switch chassis with four 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks (no PSUs included):
a modular, enterprise access and aggregation switch built for flexible growth, high-density PoE+ edge, and customizable power/redesign.
