HPE J9548AR 20 x Ports 1000Base-T + 2 x Ports SFP+ v2 Module for 5406zl Series Switches

Product Description

The HPE J9548AR is a high-density expansion module specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of the HPE 5406zl Series modular switches. This module significantly increases the switch's port density by adding twenty 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports, ideal for connecting a large number of end devices such as workstations, IP phones, or access points. The inclusion of these copper ports provides flexible and cost-effective connectivity options for standard network infrastructure. Complementing the twenty copper ports, the J9548AR also features two SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) ports. These ports are capable of supporting both 1Gbps and 10Gbps speeds, offering versatile options for high-speed uplinks to core network devices, connections to servers, or for switch stacking. The SFP+ interface allows for the use of various transceiver types, including fiber optic and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables, providing flexibility based on distance and performance requirements. As a hot-swappable module, the J9548AR can be installed or removed from a compatible 5406zl chassis without disrupting the operation of the rest of the switch. This feature is crucial for maintaining network uptime during upgrades or hardware maintenance. By adding this module, organizations can expand the capacity and connectivity options of their existing HPE 5406zl switches, adapting them to meet growing network demands and ensuring a scalable and robust network infrastructure.
