Product overview
R9W86A#B2B is an HPE Aruba CX 8100 24x 10G SFP+ 4x 40/100G QSFP28 Switch. Licensed features and the software train a switch shipped with decide what it can actually do once it is racked. Tell us the feature set you are relying on and we will confirm it before you commit.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
R9W86A#B2B is what is quoted and R9W86A#B2B is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Quoted with the optics and rails
The switch, the transceivers at both ends and the mounting hardware go on one bill of materials, so nothing blocks the install.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is R9W86A#B2B genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will R9W86A#B2B work in my server?
Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
Is R9W86A#B2B the same part as R9W86A#ABA?
Yes, physically. HPE lists this part under more than one order code (R9W86A#B2B, R9W86A#ABA), covering the bare part, the option kit and the spare. The listed prices differ between them, likely reflecting different packaging or channel, so tell us the exact code on your paperwork and we will confirm current pricing for that one rather than assume it matches.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
