JL726A - Aruba 6200F 48G 4SFP+ Switch

Aruba JL726A — CX 6200F 48×1G PoE+ access with 4× 1/10G SFP/SFP+ uplinks (740W)

What it is

JL726A is an Aruba CX 6200F Series fixed access switch with 48 × 1GbE PoE+ downlinks and 4 × uplinks that support 1G / 10G via SFP/SFP+ modules. It runs AOS-CX, Aruba’s modern OS for automation, telemetry, and unified management, and is tailored for environments where lots of powered clients need reliable access.

Why buyers pick JL726A (plain English)

• Plenty of PoE+ ports for edge devices
  Powers Wi-Fi APs, phones, cameras, and other PoE-powered endpoints across a full rack of 48 ports.

• Flexible uplinks with fiber or 10G options
  Four SFP/SFP+ uplinks let you choose just the right backhaul — 1G for typical links or 10G for high-throughput aggregation.

• Modern CX operations at a good value
  Same CLI, automation APIs, and Aruba Central support as higher-end CX models without overspending on unnecessary features.

• Stacking support
  VSF stacking lets you manage multiple switches as one logical device for cleaner configs and easier scaling.

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Large access closets needing lots of PoE+ ports for APs/VoIP/cameras

• Networks that want flexible uplinks (1G/10G) into aggregation

• Enterprise edge where stacking + CX operations simplify management

Choose something else if:

• You don’t need PoE → pick a non-PoE CX 6200F instead

• You want modular PSUs/fans for redundancy → CX 6200M

• You need deeper L3 routing/feature set → CX 6300 series

JL726A is the Aruba CX 6200F “48-port gigabit PoE+ edge with 1/10G uplinks” switch:
48×1G PoE+ downlinks, 4×1/10G SFP/SFP+ uplinks, AOS-CX operations, VSF stacking, and a 740W PoE budget — ideal for busy PoE-centric access closets.
