Aruba JL817A

Overview

The Aruba JL817A is a DIN mount network switch designed to deliver robust connectivity and power in environments where dust, vibration, or extreme temperatures challenge typical wiring-closet equipment. It features 12 copper Ethernet ports with differentiated power output—eight ports supply up to 30 watts each, while four ports provide up to 60 watts for demanding devices like outdoor access points and PTZ cameras. Two SFP+ slots support 1 or 10 gigabit uplinks, ensuring high-speed backhaul without bottlenecks. Its fanless design and wide operating temperature range from -40 to 75 °C make it ideal for installation in control panels, roadside cabinets, or factory floors where space and cooling are limited.

Key features

• Eight Class 4 PoE ports deliver up to 30 watts each, powering access points, phones, and sensors efficiently
• Four Class 6 PoE ports provide up to 60 watts each, suitable for high-power devices such as PTZ cameras and industrial sensors
• Two SFP+ uplink ports support flexible 1 G or 10 G connections to aggregation or core switches, enabling smooth traffic flow
• Fanless construction combined with DIN rail mounting allows installation in tight, dusty, or vibration-prone environments without additional cooling
• Wide ambient temperature tolerance from -40 °C to 75 °C ensures reliable operation in harsh conditions like freezer warehouses or rooftop enclosures
• 64 Gbps switching capacity with ultra-low latency as low as 2.038 microseconds at 10 Gbps supports demanding network performance
• Powered by a dual-core ARM processor with 4 GB RAM and 32 GB internal flash running Aruba’s AOS-CX software for consistent management and advanced features
• Supports both AC and DC power inputs, offering installation flexibility based on available power sources
• Managed through Aruba Central cloud, Web GUI, or CLI without requiring additional licenses, simplifying deployment and monitoring
• Backed by a five-year warranty, providing long-term reliability and peace of mind

Connectivity and compatibility

This switch offers versatile connectivity options to fit into various network architectures. The 12 copper Ethernet ports provide standard 1 GbE connections with Power over Ethernet capabilities tailored to device power needs. The two SFP+ slots allow for fiber or copper uplinks at 1 or 10 Gbps, enabling seamless integration with aggregation or core switches. Its compatibility with Aruba’s AOS-CX software ensures consistent management across campus, branch, and industrial networks, making it easier for network engineers to maintain and monitor diverse deployments.

Installation and setup

The fanless design and compact form factor allow the switch to be mounted on standard DIN rails, fitting neatly inside control panels or cabinets where space is limited. Its ability to operate in extreme temperatures without additional cooling reduces the need for climate control equipment. Supporting both AC and DC power inputs adds flexibility, allowing the switch to use existing power sources in industrial or outdoor environments. The familiar Aruba management tools and no-license-required software simplify setup and ongoing administration.

Ideal uses and environments

The Aruba JL817A is well suited to challenging environments such as factory floors, outdoor enclosures, warehouses, and roadside cabinets where dust, vibration, and temperature extremes are common. It supports powering and connecting devices like outdoor Wi-Fi access points, security cameras, and industrial IoT sensors, making it a strong choice for extending network coverage and power in industrial, retail, and municipal settings. Its robust design and flexible management options also make it a practical solution for network engineers seeking reliable Layer 2 switching with ample PoE power and high uplink bandwidth in compact spaces.

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.
