JL817A Aruba CX 4100i 12-port Gigabit Ethernet switch

HPE Aruba Networking CX 4100i JL817A 12-Port 1GbE Industrial PoE Switch

The HPE Aruba Networking CX 4100i JL817A is a ruggedized industrial Ethernet switch designed to provide reliable Gigabit connectivity, PoE power delivery and high-speed fiber uplinks in demanding environments. It combines 12 × 100M/1G Base-T Ethernet ports with 2 × 1/10G SFP+ ports in a compact DIN-mount platform.

The JL817A configuration includes 8 Class 4 PoE ports supporting up to 30W per port and 4 Class 6 PoE ports supporting up to 60W per port. It supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt PoE standards, making it suitable for powering compatible wireless access points, IP cameras, IoT devices, industrial sensors and other network-connected equipment.

Designed around HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX, the CX 4100i provides enterprise-grade switching, network segmentation, security, automation and management capabilities while maintaining an industrial form factor. The platform is specifically designed for connecting IoT devices, access points and user equipment in harsh environments.

Technical Specifications

High-Power Industrial PoE Connectivity

The JL817A provides a combination of standard and high-power PoE connectivity. Eight Class 4 ports can deliver up to 30W per port, while four Class 6 ports can deliver up to 60W per port. Support for IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt allows the switch to power a broad range of compatible network devices.

This makes the CX 4100i suitable for deployments involving industrial wireless access points, surveillance cameras, IoT gateways, sensors and other powered Ethernet equipment where both data connectivity and electrical power need to be delivered through network cabling.

1/10G SFP+ Fiber Uplinks

Two 1/10G SFP+ interfaces provide high-speed uplink connectivity for connecting the industrial switch to aggregation switches, data-center infrastructure or remote network segments over compatible fiber transceivers. The SFP+ interfaces can operate at either 1GbE or 10GbE speeds depending on the supported transceiver and network configuration.

Aruba AOS-CX Enterprise Networking

The CX 4100i runs Aruba AOS-CX, providing a modern programmable networking platform with Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionality. The platform supports VLANs, access control lists, QoS, routing, network segmentation, monitoring and automation capabilities.

Aruba's CX architecture also provides REST APIs for programmable network operations. The 4100i family supports Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) for stacking and network expansion, while dynamic segmentation and role-based policies can be used to apply appropriate access policies to connected devices.

Rugged Industrial Construction

The CX 4100i is designed specifically for harsh environments and uses a fanless industrial design. Its operating-temperature capability varies with airflow conditions, supporting operation from -40°C in no-airflow conditions up to 75°C under specified airflow conditions.

The switch provides IP30 protection and supports industrial, power-substation, railway and traffic-control applications. HPE Aruba documentation cites standards and requirements including EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-4, IEEE 1613, IEC 61850-3, EN 50121 and NEMA TS 2, depending on the applicable deployment category.

Redundant Industrial Power

The JL817A supports two field-replaceable industrial DIN-rail power supplies, with supported PSU options including JL819A, JL820A and JL821A. Two power supplies can be used for redundancy, helping improve availability in industrial installations where uninterrupted network operation is important.

Typical Applications

• Industrial automation and control networks
• Factory and manufacturing Ethernet infrastructure
• Industrial wireless access point connectivity
• IP surveillance and security networks
• Industrial IoT and edge-device connectivity
• Power-substation communication networks
• Railway and transportation networking
• Traffic control systems
• Utility and critical infrastructure networks
• Harsh-environment enterprise Ethernet deployments

Compatibility Considerations

The JL817A is specifically the 12-port 4100i model with eight Class 4 PoE ports, four Class 6 PoE ports and two 1/10G SFP+ interfaces. It should not be confused with the JL818A, which is the 24-port CX 4100i configuration with four SFP+ ports.

The required industrial power supply is separate from the switch chassis. Customers should select a compatible JL819A, JL820A or JL821A PSU based on the required PoE power budget and installation conditions. Fiber uplinks also require compatible SFP/SFP+ transceivers selected according to the required speed, fiber type and transmission distance.
