Product identity

The HPE J9993A is an eight-port SFP+ expansion module built for 1 GbE and 10 GbE optical networking. It targets network administrators who need to add high-density fibre uplinks to compatible HPE 5400R zl2 chassis switches.

Build and connectivity

The black module measures 1.8 by 10.3 by 8.1 inches and weighs 1.65 lb, sliding into a single zl2 slot without tools. Eight SFP+ cages accept standard optical transceivers, so cable type and reach are chosen per link rather than fixed at purchase.

Deciding specification

MACsec v3 encryption runs at line rate across all ten gigabit ports, securing traffic without a separate appliance. The module only operates in 5400R, 5406R and 5412R chassis, so buyers with other switch families cannot use it.

Questions about this item

What SFP+ standard does the J9993A use and what is the practical speed limit?

The module provides eight SFP+ slots running at 10GBase-X, capping each port at 10 Gbit/s.

What chassis space and weight should I plan for when fitting this module?

It measures 1.8" high, 10.3" wide and 8.1" deep, weighing approximately 1.65 lb.

How is the J9993A installed and which step is often missed?

Slide the module into a free zl2 slot on a compatible 5400R, 5406R or 5412R switch until it locks, then insert SFP+ transceivers — skipping the transceiver step leaves ports inactive.
