Enterprise environments supporting virtualised applications and storage networks require high-capacity copper connectivity capable of handling large volumes of application traffic.
The HPE Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 Switch delivers 48 × 10GBASE-T ports with 4 × 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity between servers, storage, and aggregation layers. The platform runs the AOS-CX operating system with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. Data-centre and fabric-oriented switching architecture, together with AOS-CX telemetry and modern routing protocols, supports scalable east-west traffic patterns across leaf-spine and high-bandwidth aggregation designs.
The integrated Network Analytics Engine provides continuous telemetry and automation capabilities that help operators analyse traffic patterns and optimise network performance. That helps operators scale server, storage, and application connectivity without losing visibility into traffic behaviour as workloads become more distributed and bandwidth intensive. Organisations that require higher-speed core and fabric connectivity may also consider the HPE Aruba CX 9300S 32-Port QSFP28 Switch, for moving from 10GbE aggregation into 100GbE-class backbone designs.
By combining dense copper connectivity with automation and monitoring capabilities, the CX 8360 allows organisations to maintain reliable performance across demanding application environments.
Our specialists can help design and deploy HPE Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 Switch solutions aligned to high-capacity enterprise network infrastructures.

The HPE Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 48-Port 10GBASE-T Switch is designed for organisations that need high-density copper 10GbE switching for campus aggregation and dynamic data centre roles. It is well suited to environments where many copper-connected servers, appliances, or high-speed services need to be concentrated on one fixed platform.
Campus core and aggregation layers often need to terminate large numbers of high-speed copper links centrally. The Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 provides dense 10GbE copper connectivity for enterprise campuses.
Data centre racks using copper 10GbE server connections often need dense local switching and fast uplinks into the fabric. The Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 delivers fixed 10GBASE-T switching for these rack environments.
Virtualisation environments often connect hypervisors and appliances over copper 10GbE within server rooms and data centres. This model fits deployments where many 10GBASE-T server ports are needed on one switch.
Application environments with many connected appliances, storage endpoints, or service nodes often need high-density copper switching. The Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 works well where multiple 10GbE services converge at the aggregation layer.
Some organisations want one AOS-CX platform across campus and 10GbE data centre switching. The Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 helps keep operations aligned across those enterprise network layers.
Our team can help design and deploy Aruba CX 8360-48XT4C v2 switching for campus aggregation, copper server connectivity, and top-of-rack data environments.
