Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on a Layer 3 switching platform, the 5406R zl2 supports advanced routing protocols and network segmentation, enabling scalable design for medium to large networks. It handles Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet across both twisted pair and optical fiber media, with support for 1000Base-X and 10GBase-X network technologies.
The switch's eight SFP+ slots provide high-bandwidth uplinks to core switches or servers, while the eight copper ports deliver Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) to connected devices. Its modular design allows you to customize port configurations using additional zl2 series modules, adapting to changing network demands over time.
Relevant factors for this section include Total Number of Network Ports, Modular, Port/Expansion Slot Details, Media Type Supported. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This switch excels in environments where flexibility, performance, and future-proofing are critical. Its combination of multirate PoE+ ports and high-speed uplinks makes it ideal for aggregating access layer traffic or serving as a distribution switch in campus networks.
Investment Protection
The modular chassis allows you to add or replace port modules as needs evolve, extending the switch's usable life and reducing total cost of ownership.
- 12 total expansion slots
- Compatible with 5400R zl2 series modules
- Hot-swappable module design
Power and Connectivity
Deliver both data and power over standard Ethernet cables, simplifying deployments for PoE devices while maintaining high-speed uplink capacity.
- 8 x 1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T PoE+ ports
- 8 x 10GbE SFP+ uplinks
- Supports twisted pair and fiber media
Deployment / Use Cases
The 5406R zl2 switch is well-suited for roles that require a balance of access connectivity and aggregation capabilities. Its 4U rack-mountable form factor fits standard data center or wiring closet racks, while its modularity supports gradual network expansion.
In campus networks, it can serve as a distribution switch, connecting multiple access switches via its SFP+ uplinks while providing PoE+ to devices in adjacent areas. For smaller deployments, it can act as a core switch, handling inter-VLAN routing and connecting to servers or storage via 10GbE links.
Medium Enterprise Core
Use as the primary switching layer in offices or campuses, leveraging Layer 3 routing for network segmentation and the SFP+ ports for high-speed server connections.
Aggregation for PoE Networks
Deploy in wiring closets to aggregate traffic from access switches and power PoE devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.
Physical Profile
Designed for standard 19-inch racks, this switch occupies 4U of vertical space with dimensions of 17.75" height, 17.50" width, and 6.90" depth. Its rack-mountable form factor includes integrated mounting hardware, and the 28.11 lb weight reflects a robust metal construction built for continuous operation in data center environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 17.75" (450.85 mm), 17.50" (444.50 mm), 6.90" (175.26 mm), 28.11 lb (12750 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What types of ports does this switch have?
This switch includes eight 1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T copper ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) and eight SFP+ slots for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The copper ports auto-negotiate speed from 1GbE to 10GbE, while the SFP+ slots accept fiber or direct-attach copper transceivers for high-speed uplinks.
Is this a Layer 2 or Layer 3 switch?
This is a Layer 3 managed switch, meaning it supports advanced routing protocols and can perform inter-VLAN routing without needing an external router. This capability allows for more scalable network designs and improved traffic management in medium to large deployments.
Does this switch include a power supply?
No, this switch ships without a power supply unit (PSU). You will need to purchase a compatible PSU separately based on your power requirements and redundancy needs. The switch supports redundant power supplies for high-availability deployments.
