HPE J9995A 5400R zl2 Expansion Module 8-Port 1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T

The HPE J9995A is a high-performance, multi-gigabit expansion module designed for the HPE Aruba 5400R zl2 Switch Series, targeting enterprise campus and data center aggregation layers. It directly addresses the need for flexible, high-speed copper connectivity to support modern wireless access points, high-end workstations, and server uplinks. This module provides a dense, future-proof solution for scaling network capacity and eliminating bottlenecks without requiring a complete overhaul of existing chassis-based infrastructure. It is engineered for environments demanding robust performance and investment protection. At its core, the module leverages HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit technology, offering eight ports of 1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T connectivity. This allows IT teams to deliver the precise bandwidth required by next-generation devices over standard twisted-pair cabling. Each port also supplies Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), simplifying the deployment of power-hungry devices like pan-tilt-zoom cameras and 802.11ac/ax access points. Furthermore, integrated MACsec v3 encryption provides line-rate, hop-to-hop traffic security, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality without impacting performance, a critical feature for secure enterprise networks. As a hot-swappable, plug-in module, the J9995A integrates seamlessly into the HPE 5400R zl2 chassis, simplifying upgrades and maintenance. Its physical design is optimized for ease of installation within existing network racks. Management is unified through the switch chassis's operating system, which supports a comprehensive command-line interface (CLI) and integrates with network management platforms like Aruba AirWave and Aruba Central. This centralized control streamlines provisioning, monitoring, and policy enforcement across both wired and wireless infrastructure, reducing operational complexity.
