Aruba JL430A

Overview

The Aruba JL430A is a managed network switch designed to deliver high-speed 10G fiber connectivity through its twenty-four SFP+ ports. It is built to support growing campus networks, server rooms, and high-density edge deployments by providing a switching capacity of 320 gigabits per second and a forwarding rate of 190.5 million packets per second. This combination ensures smooth data flow with minimal latency, making it suitable for aggregating access switches, linking virtualization hosts, or streaming rich media across departments.

Its compact 1U rack form factor and dual-core Cortex A9 processor with 2 GB of memory allow it to fit seamlessly into existing network infrastructures where reliability and scalability are essential. The switch also includes a 250-watt internal power supply and a fan tray, with options for power redundancy and modular expansion to future-proof your investment.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
