Industrial and operational technology environments increasingly rely on connected sensors, cameras, and wireless infrastructure, requiring network equipment that can deliver reliable connectivity in challenging physical conditions.
The HPE Aruba CX 4100i 12-Port 1GbE PoE+ Industrial Switch extends enterprise networking to industrial environments with 12 × 1GbE PoE+ ports capable of delivering up to 30W or 60W PoE to connected devices. Built on the AOS-CX operating system, the switch provides enterprise Layer 2 switching alongside 2 × 10GbE SFP+ uplinks for high-speed connectivity to aggregation networks. High-speed uplinks, programmable switching, and integrated analytics improve visibility across the access, aggregation, or data-centre fabric, helping teams spot congestion and policy issues before they affect users or applications.
Designed for demanding environments, the CX 4100i features an IP30-rated hardened enclosure with extended temperature support and DIN-rail mounting. Organisations that require higher industrial port density may also consider the HPE Aruba CX 4100i 24-Port 1GbE PoE+ Industrial Switch, for supporting more PoE devices across cabinets, plant zones and remote enclosures.
By combining industrial durability with enterprise switching capabilities, the CX 4100i enables organisations to extend managed network infrastructure to operational systems while maintaining consistent visibility and policy control.

The HPE Aruba CX 4100i 12-Port 1GbE PoE+ Industrial Switch is designed for organisations that need rugged industrial edge switching in compact spaces. It is well suited to cabinets, control rooms, and operational sites where fanless DIN-rail deployment, PoE, and reliable Ethernet connectivity are needed in harsh environments.
The Aruba CX 4100i 12-port model suits control cabinets and industrial enclosures where space is limited but managed Ethernet is required. Its DIN-rail form factor makes it a practical fit for compact industrial installations.
Industrial environments often need Ethernet connectivity for sensors, controllers, cameras, and connected operational devices. The Aruba CX 4100i supports these deployments with rugged access switching and PoE for edge equipment.
Warehouses, production areas, and utility sites often need to connect access points and user devices in conditions that standard office switches are not designed for. The Aruba CX 4100i fits these environments with hardened edge connectivity.
Operational networks often need stronger access control for users and IoT at the edge. The Aruba CX 4100i supports these environments with Dynamic Segmentation and manageable Layer 2 edge switching.
The Aruba CX 4100i is also a good fit for modernising older unmanaged or basic industrial switching. It supports sites moving to a more consistent AOS-CX operating model across enterprise and industrial networks.
Our team can help design and deploy Aruba CX 4100i 12-port switching for industrial cabinets, IoT connectivity, and rugged edge environments.
