Product Features
Technical Overview
This expansion module operates as a zl2 form factor module specifically engineered for the HP 5400R switch chassis. It leverages 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T standards to achieve a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s across all eight ports. The module supports twisted pair media, making it compatible with existing Cat6a or better cabling infrastructures, which reduces deployment costs and complexity.
The technical architecture includes auto-negotiation capabilities that allow each port to dynamically adjust between 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 GbE speeds based on connected device requirements. This ensures optimal performance and backward compatibility with slower network equipment. The module is hot-pluggable, enabling installation or replacement without powering down the entire switch, which minimizes network downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

FAQ
What switch models is this HPE module compatible with?
This expansion module is specifically designed for the HP 5400R Switch Series. It uses the zl2 form factor and integrates directly into compatible 5400R chassis slots. Ensure your switch model supports zl2 modules before purchase, as it is not compatible with other HPE switch families like the 2900 or 3800 series.
What Ethernet speeds does this module support on each port?
Each of the eight RJ-45 ports supports auto-negotiation between 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE), 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5GbE), and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE). This multi-rate capability allows connectivity with devices operating at different speeds without manual configuration, ensuring optimal performance and backward compatibility.
Does this module provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities?
Yes, the module supports PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) according to the IEEE 802.3at standard. Each port can deliver up to 30 watts of power to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter in network deployments.
What is MACsec v3 and how does it enhance network security?
MACsec v3 is a hardware-based encryption technology that secures data at the Ethernet layer. It authenticates and encrypts network traffic between the module and connected devices, protecting against eavesdropping, tampering, and replay attacks. This encryption operates with minimal latency impact, making it suitable for high-speed networks where both performance and security are critical, such as in financial or healthcare environments.
What type of cabling is required for 10GbE operation with this module?
For 10 Gigabit Ethernet operation, the module requires twisted pair cabling, specifically Category 6a (Cat6a) or higher, such as Cat7. These cable types support the 10GBase-T standard over distances up to 100 meters. Using lower-category cables like Cat5e may limit speeds to 1GbE or cause performance issues, so verify your infrastructure meets these requirements for optimal 10GbE performance.
Can this module be installed without powering down the switch?
Yes, the module is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be installed or removed from a compatible HP 5400R switch without shutting down the switch or disrupting other operations. This feature minimizes network downtime during upgrades or maintenance, allowing for seamless expansion and replacement in live environments. Always follow HPE's installation guidelines to ensure proper handling and alignment during hot-plug operations.
