R8Q70A HPE Managed w/ PoE Switch

High-Performance rackmount managed stackable L2/L3 access switching with the R8Q70A for resilient campus and branch edge

R8Q70A is an HPE Aruba CX 6200 Series rackmount 19-inch Ethernet switching platform designed for enterprise access and aggregation where predictable forwarding, segmentation, and operational consistency are required. Built as a managed, stackable L2/L3 switch, R8Q70A supports VLAN-based multi-tenant designs while maintaining centralized control through standards-based management and policy integration.

The architecture of R8Q70A aligns wired user access with top-of-rack uplink needs by providing 1/10GbE SFP+ uplinks while retaining 1GbE and 10GbE connectivity options for flexible edge design. For endpoint power delivery, R8Q70A supports PoE using 802.3af/802.3at, enabling unified cabling for APs, phones, and IoT. Traffic engineering is supported through 802.1Q VLANs, LACP for link resilience and bandwidth aggregation, QoS prioritization, and jumbo frames for efficiency. A dedicated RJ-45 management interface plus front USB Type-A and USB Type-C streamline provisioning and recovery workflows, and redundant PSU capability with active cooling targets sustained operation in enterprise wiring closets and racks.
