Detailed Specifications
HPE Aruba JL687A - 8400X-32Y 32-Port 1/10/25G SFP/SFP+/SFP28 Module
Overview :
The HPE JL687A is a line-module expansion card designed for use in the HPE/Aruba 8400 series chassis, used by network engineers to extend port density with high-speed optics. It provides 32 ports that support 1G, 10G and 25G connectivity via SFP, SFP+ or SFP28 interfaces, enabling flexible upgrade paths and mixed-speed deployments. The module targets campus core and data-centre aggregation or leaf/spine deployments where high throughput and future-proofing are required. It integrates into the 8-slot 8400X chassis and leverages the AOS-CX operating system for programmability, telemetry and automation.
Key Features :
32 ports supporting 1/10/25 GbE via SFP/SFP+/SFP28
Supports 25GBase-X optics and DAC/SFP28 cables
Compatible with Aruba 8400X chassis and AOS-CX architecture
Full line-rate switching performance in slot module design
Enables high-density aggregation in campus or data-centre environments
