Detailed Specifications
HPE J9822A Aruba 5412R zl2 Switch
Overview
The HPE J9822A is a modular chassis switch designed for IT infrastructure and network engineering teams deploying scalable campus aggregation or core-layer networks. It supports up to 12 open module slots and enables flexible port configurations×including combinations of autosensing 10/100/1000 Mb/s, SFP fibre, SFP+, multi-gig and 40 GbE line cards×making it suitable for high-density, high-performance environments. With a switching capacity of up to 1.92 Tb/s, low latency (as low as ~2.1 µs), and support for Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) stacking, it addresses mobile-first campus access with wireless aggregation and converged wired-wireless fabrics. The unit ships without power supplies or line modules; engineers must populate the chassis with appropriate modules and PSUs for their deployment needs. It is suitable for campus wiring-closet aggregation racks or data-centre edge roles within campus infrastructure.
Key Features
12 open module slots supporting up to 288 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports or 24 40 GbE ports.
Up to 1.92 Tb/s (1920 Gb/s) switching capacity in this chassis class.
Support for VSF stacking, hitless software upgrade and mobile-first fabric integration.
Four PSU slots (two minimum required) for redundant, scalable power infrastructure.
Module-based architecture with flexible port types (copper, fibre, multi-gig) for converged access.
