Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Enterprise-grade PoE+ access switching, professionally tested and ready to deploy.
The Aruba JL261A is a refurbished 24-port Gigabit PoE+ access switch from the Aruba 2930F Series, professionally tested and reset to factory defaults. Each unit delivers 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ access ports, 4 x Gigabit SFP uplinks, and a 370W PoE+ power budget — providing the density and power headroom modern enterprise edge deployments demand. At $899, this unit represents substantial savings over new list pricing without any compromise in functionality or reliability.Built around the Aruba ProVision ASIC and running ArubaOS-Switch, the JL261A offers 56 Gbps of switching capacity and 41.7 Mpps forwarding throughput with sub-3.8 microsecond latency. Layer 3 Lite routing capabilities — including static routing, RIP, RIPng, and Access OSPF — make this switch a capable and cost-effective option for environments that need more than pure Layer 2 functionality. Advanced security features including ACLs, Dynamic ARP Protection, and DHCP Snooping add meaningful protection at the access layer.
The JL261A integrates natively with Aruba Central, AirWave, and ClearPass, enabling zero-touch provisioning, centralized visibility, and policy-based access control across distributed sites. Whether deployed at the campus edge, in a branch office, or as the primary access layer in an SMB environment, this switch delivers the performance, manageability, and security posture that enterprise teams expect — backed by WhaleyComm's Lifetime Warranty and 25+ years serving 5,000+ enterprise customers.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Edge Access
Deploy the JL261A at the access layer of campus or enterprise networks where high-density Gigabit connectivity and PoE+ power delivery are required for endpoints, APs, and IP phones.
Branch Office Networking
The combination of Layer 3 Lite routing, zero-touch provisioning, and Aruba Central integration makes this switch well suited for branch offices that need autonomous operation with centralized management.
Wireless AP Aggregation
With 24 PoE+ ports and a 370W budget, the JL261A can simultaneously power and connect a high density of 802.11ac or 802.11ax access points without requiring a separate power injector infrastructure.
VoIP and Unified Communications
Robust QoS capabilities prioritize voice and real-time traffic across all ports, making this switch a reliable foundation for IP phone deployments and unified communications environments.
IP Surveillance and IoT Environments
The PoE+ budget and advanced security features — including DHCP Snooping and Dynamic ARP Protection — provide the power delivery and network segmentation that IP camera and IoT device deployments require.
SMB Core or Distribution Switching
For small and mid-sized businesses, the JL261A delivers managed switching with Layer 3 Lite routing and enterprise-grade security features at a price point well below comparable new hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The JL261A provides a total PoE+ budget of 370W shared across all 24 access ports, each supporting IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) at up to 30W per port. Actual per-port delivery depends on the total load across the switch at any given time.
The JL261A supports Layer 3 Lite routing, which includes static routing, RIP, RIPng, and Access OSPF. This makes it capable of inter-VLAN routing and basic routing functions without requiring a full Layer 3 core switch for smaller deployments.
The JL261A supports multiple management methods including CLI, Web GUI, SNMP, AirWave, and Aruba Central. Aruba Central integration enables cloud-based zero-touch provisioning, monitoring, and policy management across distributed deployments.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
