SKU CH-HW1T-E90GV

Adds eight 1 GbE or 10 GbE SFP+ ports with MACsec to 5400R or 54/82 v3 zl2 switches

  • 8 SFP+ ports deliver up to 10 Gbit/s throughput
  • Supports both Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over optical fiber
  • Compact 1.8″ × 10.3″ × 8.1″ form factor fits dense chassis
  • MACsec capability on v3 zl2 module secures data in flight
  • Designed for Aruba 5400R series expansion slots

Expansion Module for Aruba 5400R Switches

The J9993A adds eight SFP+ ports to compatible Aruba 5400R chassis. It serves network teams who need to extend fibre uplinks or high-speed server links without replacing the core switch. The module occupies a single zl2 slot and ships as a single unit.

SFP+ Interface and 10GBase-X Reach

Each port accepts SFP+ transceivers for optical fibre media. The interface supports both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet signalling under the 10GBase-X standard. Practical link distance and loss budget depend entirely on the specific transceiver module chosen, which is not included.

Eight Ports at 10 Gbit/s Maximum Rate

The module provides eight ports with a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s per port. This density suits aggregation of multiple 1G or 10G fibre connections in a single slot. Total chassis throughput remains constrained by the backplane capacity of the host 5400R switch.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8-port SFP+ module or a smaller version for my 5400R chassis?

The module provides eight SFP+ slots in a single v3 zl2 form factor, so one unit fills one expansion slot and delivers up to 10 Gbit/s per port.

What does the 10 Gbit/s headline rate mean once the module is installed in a switch?

Each of the eight ports can negotiate 1 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s over optical fiber, giving a maximum of 10 Gbit/s per active link.

Does the SFP+ interface limit the cable type or distance I can run?

The SFP+ slots accept standard 10GBase-X optical transceivers, so reach and cable type depend on the transceiver you choose.
