Expansion module for HPE 5510 switches

The HPE JH155A adds two QSFP+ ports to compatible FlexNetwork 5510 HI switches. It provides 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks for data-centre and campus networks. Network engineers expanding aggregation layers use this module to increase high-speed connectivity.

Dual QSFP+ ports at 40 GbE

Each module delivers two 40 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces using the QSFP+ form factor. The 40GBase-X protocol supports optical fibre links for long-distance runs. This port count and speed are the decisive factors when planning uplink capacity.

Hot-plug expansion slot installation

The module slides into an available expansion slot on the host switch without powering down the chassis. It requires a supported 5510 HI switch running compatible firmware. No additional power supply or external cabling beyond the QSFP+ transceivers is needed.

Questions about this item

What does 40 Gigabit Ethernet mean for real-world throughput on the JH155A module?

Each QSFP+ port delivers up to 40 Gbit/s of line-rate bandwidth for data networking or optical fiber links.

What does the QSFP+ interface limit in practice on the JH155A?

The QSFP+ slots support 40GBase-X protocols; maximum reach and cable type depend on the transceiver installed.

Will the JH155A fit in a standard 1U switch bay given its 1.60" x 3.70" x 5.80" size?

The module measures 1.60 inches high, 3.70 inches wide and 5.80 inches deep, matching the expansion slot on supported HPE 5510 HI switches.
