Description
Aruba Instant On 1930 8G 2SFP Smart-Managed Gigabit Switch (Part Number: JL680A) is an advanced, high-performance Layer 2+ smart-managed switch designed for small businesses, commercial offices, and distributed branches. Equipped with 8 autosensing 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit copper ports and 2 dedicated 1GbE SFP optical transceiver slots, it delivers a non-blocking switching throughput of 20 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 14.88 Mpps to handle bandwidth-intensive office operations with ease.
The 1930 8G provides robust enterprise-grade Layer 2+ capabilities, including IPv4 static routing (up to 32 static routes), 802.1Q VLAN segmentation, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and IEEE 802.1X network access control. Featuring an acoustic rating of 0 dB due to its fanless cooling architecture, it delivers silent, maintenance-free performance on desktops, wall mounts, or under counters. It can be easily set up, monitored, and managed from anywhere using the Aruba Instant On mobile app or cloud web portal.
