Detailed Specifications
HPE JL366A Aruba 8400X 6-Port 40/100 GbE Advanced Module
Overview
The HPE JL366A is a high-density line module designed for use with the Aruba 8400 series chassis. It provides six QSFP28 ports capable of either 40 Gb/s or 100 Gb/s connectivity, enabling infrastructure engineers to scale bandwidth at the aggregation or core layer. Deployed in demanding campus-core or data-centre environments, this module supports full line-rate forwarding with advanced Layer 2/3 features and integrates with the Aruba AOS-CX operating system for programmability (REST APIs, Python) and telemetry. It fits into the modular chassis of the 8-slot Aruba 8400 platform and supports investment-protection through modular uplink growth and advanced fabric modules.
