HPE JL002A Aruba 5406R 8port PoE+ 8SFP+ v3 zl2 Ethernet Switch

HPE JL002A – 5406R v3 zl2 Modular Switch

Overview   

The HPE JL002A (5406R v3 zl2 chassis) is a high‑performance modular switch designed for large campus or enterprise aggregation layers where multi‑gig access and 10 Gb uplinks are required. It solves the problem of connecting wired and wireless high‑speed endpoints while maintaining a scalable modular architecture. This switch fits into 4‑rack‑unit space in wiring closets or aggregation racks and supports campus access modules, VSF stacking, and full Layer 3 routing. For example, you can connect high‑density Wi‑Fi 6/6E access points and multi‑gig wired desktops to the 8 multi‑gig PoE+ ports, uplink via the 8 SFP+ ports, and expand via module slots—all under one management domain. It is compatible with the broader HPE/Aruba 5400R zl2 ecosystem so you can reuse stack modules, management modules and power supplies across sibling chassis.

Key Features

• Eight RJ‑45 Smart Rate multi‑gigabit ports (1/2.5/5/10GBASE‑T) with PoE+ support to power high‑performance devices directly.

• Eight open 10 GbE SFP+ uplink ports for fiber connectivity and high‑speed aggregation.

• Modular chassis with four additional module slots for future expansion or uplink modules.

• Switching capacity up to 960 Gbps for layer‑2/3 throughput and up to ~571.4 Mpps packet forwarding.

• Robust Layer 3 feature set, supports IPv4/IPv6 routing, high availability stacking (VSF), ideal for mobile campus aggregation environments.
