Aruba 2620 24 PoE+ Switch

Overview

The Aruba J9625A#ABB is a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to deliver both data connectivity and PoE+ power up to 30 W per port. It supports a 370 W internal PoE budget, expandable to 740 W with an optional external power supply, making it suitable for powering IP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points from a single cable. Its fanless design ensures silent operation, ideal for offices, classrooms, and branch locations where noise reduction is important.

With four dedicated uplink ports (two copper and two SFP) running at Gigabit speeds, this switch efficiently forwards traffic to the core network or internet. Layer 3 features such as static and RIP routing, access control lists, and full IPv6 support enable network segmentation and security without requiring additional routing hardware.

Key features

• PoE+ power on all 24 access ports allows devices like IP phones and cameras to run without separate power adapters
• Expandable PoE budget supports growing network demands by doubling power capacity with an external supply
