HPE J9536A 20 Ports Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Expansion Module

HPE J9536A – 20‑Port PoE+ Module with 2×10 Gb SFP+

Overview   

The HPE J9536A is a switch module designed for deployment in the HPE/Aruba 5400R zl2, 5400 zl and 8200 zl chassis systems that need access‑layer density with PoE+ support and uplink speed. For example, in a wiring closet where you have dozens of IP phones, wireless access points and cameras, this module gives you 20 × 1Gb PoE+ RJ‑45 ports plus 2 × 10 Gb SFP+ uplink ports so you can handle the access load and backhaul traffic without adding a separate switch. It fits into the zl slot architecture of compatible chassis and allows the network engineer to add PoE‑enabled access ports in the same physical chassis used for aggregation or distribution.This module works best in campus or branch data‑rooms where you already have a 5400R zl2 or 5400 zl chassis and need to add PoE density without deploying a full new switch. It supports PoE+ (suitable for APs, cameras, VoIP) and high‑speed uplink via its 10 Gb SFP+ ports to the core or distribution layer.

Key Features

• 20 × 1 Gb RJ‑45 ports with PoE+ support – powers wired endpoints like IP phones, access points and security cameras without separate injectors.

• 2 × 10 Gb SFP+ uplink ports – give the module high‑speed backhaul capacity to switch uplinks or core links.

• Plug‑in module format for HPE/Aruba 5400R zl2, 5400 zl and 8200 zl chassis – allows re‑use of chassis infrastructure and unified management.

• Compact form factor: only 1.75″ height, acceptable weight (~2.09 lb) – easy to install in existing chassis with minimal rack‑space or cooling impact.

• Ideal for access layer in medium/large campus deployments where PoE+ and uplink capacity are required without stand‑alone switch proliferation.
