32-port 40G QSFP+ Layer 3 switch

The HPE FlexFabric 5940 JH396A is a Layer 3 network switch with 32 ports of 40 Gigabit QSFP+ connectivity. It is built for data-centre and enterprise core deployments that need dense high-speed aggregation. A single RJ-45 serial console port provides out-of-band management access.

2560 Gbps switching capacity

The fabric delivers 2560 Gbps of switching capacity with a forwarding rate up to 1904 Mpps. That throughput figure is the primary metric to verify the switch can sustain line-rate traffic across all 32 QSFP+ ports in your topology.

Dual fan trays for front-to-rear cooling

Two hot-swap fan tray slots direct airflow through the chassis to maintain operating temperatures under full load. The design targets consistent cooling in standard rack environments without requiring additional external airflow management.
