Aruba HPE CX 8360 Switches - Refurbished, Used, New
Aruba CX 8360 switches are compact 1U aggregation and data center switches running AOS-CX, used as campus cores, server-rack top-of-rack switches and collapsed-core layers in smaller data centers. The line covers fixed configurations from 10G RJ45 and SFP+ access up to 25G SFP28 and 100G QSFP28, and most models are sold as bundles with fans and dual power supplies already fitted in either front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. Part numbers ending in A are the original bundles and those ending in C are the v2 bundles. NetworkTigers sells CX 8360 switches, base units, fan modules and power supplies refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which CX 8360 do I need?
Pick the access port type first. Choose the 48XT4C if your servers or downstream switches connect over 10G copper, the 24XF2C for 10G SFP+ fiber or DAC, the 16Y2C or 32Y4C for 25G SFP28 server links, and the 12C when every port needs to be 40G or 100G, for example as a small spine or a campus core joining several CX 6300 or 8325 stacks. The 25G SFP28 ports also accept 1G and 10G SFP modules, so a Y model can carry a mixed estate. Next choose airflow to match your rack: front-to-back units draw air at the port face, back-to-front units draw air at the power supply end, and the fans and power supplies in a chassis must all be the same direction. The A and C bundles are functionally the same switch; the v2 (C) bundles are the current production run. If you buy a JL717C base unit, add two power supplies and the fan set for the airflow you need. Two 8360 switches can be paired with VSX for an active-active core with no single point of failure.
Frequently asked questions
Can a CX 8360 run MACsec?
Only on models that list it. The JL704C and JL705C are the MACsec versions in this collection; the other 8360 models do not encrypt at the port. If you need encrypted uplinks between buildings, choose one of those two.
Can a CX 8360 join a VSF stack with a CX 6300?
No. The 8360 uses VSX, a two-switch pairing over an inter-switch link, rather than VSF stacking. A 6300 stack can dual-home to a VSX pair of 8360s with a multi-chassis LAG, which is the usual campus design.
Does a bundle include optics?
No. Bundles include the chassis, fans and power supplies only. Optics, DAC cables and breakout cables are sold separately so you can match reach and connector; see the Aruba optics link in the table.
