Detailed Specifications
HPE J9731A 2-Port 10 GbE SFP+ Module
Overview
The HPE J9731A is a plug-in uplink expansion module designed for the Aruba/ProCurve 2920 switch series, enabling two 10 Gb/s SFP+ ports for high-speed network uplinks in enterprise access or aggregation deployments. It allows network engineers to integrate 10 GbE optical connectivity into existing 2920 chassis without replacing the entire switch, supporting media flexibility and increasing fabric bandwidth. The module fits into the dedicated uplink slot of the host switch and supports hot-swappable installation, making it suitable for campus, branch or data-centre racks where minimal downtime and modular upgrade paths are essential.
Key Features
Two SFP+ ports supporting 10 Gb/s Ethernet uplinks.
Compatible with Aruba/ProCurve 2920 switch series modules.
Plug-in module form-factor enabling live insertion or upgrades.
Supports multimode or single-mode fibre via standard SFP+ optics.
Fits into existing infrastructure for cost-effective bandwidth scaling.
