Detailed Specifications
HP J9548A - 20-Port Gig-T / 2-Port 10-GbE SFP+ v2 zl Module
Overview :
The HP J9548A is a switch module designed for engineers deploying into chassis-based environments, enabling 20 autosensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports alongside two SFP+ slots supporting 10 GbE uplinks. It is intended for the HP E5400 zl and E8200 zl switch families and addresses the need for mixed gigabit copper access and 10-gigabit uplink within the same slot. The module allows you to extend chassis port density in campus or data-centre access layers where both copper connectivity and higher-speed uplinks are required. In typical deployments it fits into the access or aggregation layer of a campus network, leveraging the management and stacking capabilities of the E-series chassis. It integrates with the same software and operational environment used for those switches, meaning existing tool-chains and processes remain applicable.
Key Features :
20 RJ-45 autosensing 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports
2 SFP+ slots supporting 10 GbE uplinks
Compatible with HP E5400 zl and E8200 zl chassis
RJ-45 ports support Auto-MDIX for cable flexibility
v2 zl module architecture supports hot-swap capability
