HP J9989A Aruba 12 x 1000BT PoE+ + 12 x 1GbE SFP MACsec v3 zl2 Module

Product Description

The HP J9989A is a versatile expansion module for the HP/Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series, offering a balanced combination of copper and fiber connectivity. It features twelve 1000Base-T ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), enabling the simultaneous delivery of data and power to connected devices. This is ideal for powering IP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled endpoints, simplifying infrastructure and reducing cabling requirements. Complementing the PoE+ ports, the module includes twelve 1GbE SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots. These SFP slots allow for flexible deployment of Gigabit Ethernet connections using various fiber optic transceivers or direct-attach copper cables, catering to different network distances and media types. This hybrid approach provides significant flexibility for network design and expansion. Furthermore, the J9989A module incorporates MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) support, providing hardware-based encryption for Layer 2 traffic. This enhances network security by ensuring data confidentiality and integrity between network segments. As a 'v3 Module', it signifies compatibility and performance within the specified HP/Aruba switch series, making it a robust solution for building secure, high-density, and adaptable enterprise networks.
