HPE J9988A 24-port 1000Base-X SFP switch module

SKU CH-0F7D-PDG3Y MPN J9988A

Adds 24 SFP ports for 1000Base-X fibre uplinks to HP 5400R zl2 switches

  • 24 SFP slots for flexible fibre uplinks
  • 1000Base-X Gigabit speed across every port
  • Fits HP 5400R zl2 chassis for simple expansion
  • Compact 1.8" high module saves rack space
  • REACH certified for environmentally responsible deployment

Product identity

The HPE J9988A is a 24-port 1GbE SFP switch module designed for data networking and optical network media. It targets administrators expanding an HP 5400R zl2 switch series with fibre connectivity. The module occupies a single slot and provides 24 SFP mini-GBIC expansion slots for Gigabit Ethernet links.

Capacity and headroom

Twenty-four SFP ports deliver 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet across optical fibre, giving ample port density for campus or data-centre uplinks. The fixed 1 Gbps line rate per port means bandwidth-heavy 10 GbE or 40 GbE workloads will require a different module. Physical dimensions are 1.8 inches high, 10.3 inches wide and 8.1 inches deep at 2.18 lb.

Compatibility constraint

This module is validated only for the HP 5400R zl2 switch series; it will not operate in other chassis families. Buyers needing compatibility with earlier 5400R zl or non-HPE platforms must select an alternative part. The REACH environmental certification confirms regulatory compliance for European deployments.

Questions about this item

Will the J9988A module fit in the 5400R zl2 chassis I already run?

The module is built for the HP 5400R zl2 Switch Series, so it installs directly into that chassis without an adapter.

What front-panel indicators confirm the 24 SFP ports are linked at 1000Base-X?

Each SFP port shows link and activity LEDs; solid green means a 1000Base-X link is up, blinking indicates traffic.

Does the box include the 24 SFP transceivers or only the module?

The module ships with 24 empty SFP slots; compatible mini-GBIC transceivers must be purchased separately.
