HP 5070-6399 20 x PoE+ GBe 4 x SFP Ports Zl Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP 5070-6399 is a sophisticated network expansion module designed to augment the capabilities of HP's ZL series modular switches. This module significantly enhances the switch's capacity for high-density device deployment by offering 20 Gigabit Ethernet ports that are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard, commonly known as PoE+. This Power over Ethernet Plus capability allows the module to simultaneously provide high-speed network connectivity and electrical power to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, and other PoE-enabled endpoints, simplifying installation and reducing cabling requirements. In addition to the extensive PoE+ enabled copper ports, the 5070-6399 features four SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots. These SFP ports provide flexible connectivity options, allowing network administrators to install various types of fiber optic transceivers (e.g., for short-reach multimode or long-reach single-mode fiber) or copper Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. This versatility is crucial for building robust network backbones, connecting to other network segments, or extending network reach over longer distances, ensuring high bandwidth and reliable data transmission. As a ZL expansion module, the 5070-6399 is designed for seamless integration into compatible HP ZL chassis. This allows for a modular and scalable network infrastructure, where additional capacity and features can be added as needed without replacing the entire core switch. The module contributes to the overall performance, power efficiency, and feature set of the network, making it a valuable component for enterprise-level networking environments that demand high port density, advanced power delivery, and flexible connectivity options.
