HPE Aruba 330 Wave 2 Access Points - Refurbished, Used, New
HPE Aruba 330 Series access points are the top of the Aruba 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi 5 indoor range, built for the densest spaces: stadium concourses, convention halls, large lecture theaters, trading floors and university libraries. Both radios are 4x4 with four spatial streams and MU-MIMO, and the AP has dual Ethernet uplinks, one of them a multigigabit port that can run at 2.5G to a SmartRate or other multigigabit switch so the wired side is not the bottleneck. The products on this page are the IAP-335, the Instant version with internal antennas, in both used and new condition. Instant APs run as a controllerless cluster with their own virtual controller and can be converted to campus APs under an Aruba Mobility Controller. NetworkTigers sells Aruba 330 Series access points refurbished, used and new, and every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which Aruba 330 do I need?
Choose the 330 Series over the 320 Series when you can feed it a multigigabit port. On a plain Gigabit switch the two APs perform much alike, so the 330 earns its place in closets with 2.5G or faster multigigabit ports, or where you plan to add them. Power is the second check: the 330 Series draws more than the smaller families, so budget 802.3at PoE+ at minimum and expect reduced function on 802.3af, and check your switch's PoE budget across the closet before you add a floor of them. The IAP-335 has internal antennas for a ceiling mount; for directional coverage in an arena or hangar, look for the external-antenna version of the series. Match the regulatory domain: JW825A is the US-domain unit. Instant APs manage themselves without a controller, and no Aruba Central subscription is included with the hardware. Decide between used and new by budget and warranty expectations, since both are tested and both carry the same 365-day warranty from us.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the used and new IAP-335 listings?
The new unit is factory sealed in the retail box with Aruba's packaging and accessories. The used unit has been in service, is tested on arrival and before it ships, and is listed with whatever accessories were tested with it. Both are the same JW825A hardware.
Does the multigigabit port need a special cable?
No. 2.5G runs on the same Cat 5e or Cat 6 cabling as Gigabit over normal building distances, so an existing run to the ceiling usually works as is. Only the switch port needs to support multigigabit speeds.
Can I buy a quantity for a venue or campus?
Yes. 330 Series access points come through in quantity, so give us the model, regulatory domain and count and we will quote from what is in stock.
