HPE J9986A#ABA 24 x Ports 1000Base-T PoE+ MACsec v3 zl2 Switch Module

Product Description

The HPE J9986A#ABA is a high-performance switch module designed for deployment within the HPE 7000 series zl2 modular chassis. This module offers 24 ports of 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, providing ample bandwidth for a wide range of end devices such as computers, IP phones, and wireless access points. A key feature is its support for IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which allows it to deliver up to 30 watts of power per port, simplifying deployment by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for connected devices. Security is a significant consideration with this module, as it incorporates MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) encryption. MACsec provides hardware-based, line-rate encryption for Ethernet traffic, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity between network devices. This is crucial for organizations handling sensitive data or operating in environments with strict security requirements. Designed for the access layer, the J9986A#ABA module enables high-density connectivity and intelligent network management. It supports advanced Layer 2 switching features, Quality of Service (QoS), and robust security policies, making it a versatile solution for enterprise networks. Its integration into the zl2 chassis allows for centralized management and a scalable network architecture.
