Product identity

The HPE 5406R zl2 is a 6-slot modular Layer 3 switch with 44 Gigabit PoE+ copper ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks. It ships without power supplies and is aimed at campus and branch networks that need resilient stacking and advanced traffic management.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your rack can accept a 6-slot chassis and that you have compatible PoE+ power supplies for the required PoE budget. Confirm the SFP+ transceivers you plan to use are on the HPE qualified list and that your existing cabling supports the intended link speeds.

Who this suits and who it does not

Suits organisations that want a single chassis delivering both high-density PoE+ access and 10 Gigabit uplinks with Layer 3 routing built in. Not suited for buyers who need a 12-slot chassis for larger module counts, those requiring 40 Gigabit interfaces, or teams that prefer a fixed-configuration switch without modular expansion.

Questions about this item

Does the 5406R 44GT PoE+ switch ship with power supplies or do they need to be purchased separately?
