R8N85A supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at powered devices, but its 370 W PoE allowance is shared. Prepare a device-by-device power schedule before filling all 48 access ports. A design with enough Ethernet sockets can still exceed the available endpoint power.
The four SFP connections on this CX 6000 model are Gigabit uplinks. They are not the 10G uplinks found on some other Aruba families. Check the aggregate access traffic, far-end speed and selected optical modules rather than assuming that every SFP slot supports the same rates.
The official R8N85A specification column gives 104 Gbps switching capacity, 77.3 Mpps throughput, 4 GB DDR3 and 16 GB eMMC. The model label ends in A. A series maximum or a later B-revision description must not replace the supplied unit’s own hardware identity.
Dimensions are 4.39 cm high, 44.2 cm wide and 30.48 cm deep; the listed configuration weight is 5.02 kg. The power supply and fans are fixed. Check rack clearances and service arrangements with those constraints in mind instead of assuming hot-swappable power or fan modules.
Specify R8N85A, the endpoint power total, four-uplink allocation, optical modules, mounting needs and local power cord. Ask for the actual hardware condition, installed software and support eligibility. Separate any management subscription from the hardware quotation; no subscription, optics, stock level or transferable warranty is promised here.
