Detailed Specifications
HPE JL079A Aruba 3810M 2QSFP+ 40GbE Module
Overview
The HPE JL079A is an uplink expansion module designed for use with the Aruba 3810M switch family, enabling dual 40 Gb/s QSFP+ ports for high-bandwidth fabric connections. It is used by network engineers to add high-speed optical uplinks from access or aggregation switches into data-centre topologies, supporting use cases such as spine-leaf architectures or high-density distribution layers. The module supports 40GBase-X networking, fits into a dedicated QSFP+ slot on the chassis, and is media-type multimode fibre oriented×typically installed in campus or data-centre switch racks where low-latency, high-throughput connectivity is required. The compact form-factor and lightweight design minimise rack-space and power overhead while supporting modern 40 GbE deployment needs.
