ProCurve 10GBASE-CX4 Expansion Module

This HPE ProCurve J9165A module adds a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink to compatible ProCurve 2910al switches. It is built for network administrators who need a short-range, high-bandwidth link between aggregation switches using CX4 copper cabling. The module slides into the switch expansion slot to provide one 10GBase-CX4 port for data networking.

Silver Module Thermals and Power

The silver enclosure measures 1.4 inches high, 4.2 inches wide and 4.1 inches deep while weighing approximately .31 lb. As a passive copper transceiver it generates minimal heat and produces no audible noise during operation. Power is drawn directly from the host switch chassis, so no external supply or additional cabling is required beyond the CX4 interconnect.

Compatibility Limited to Four 2910al Models

This expansion module works only with the HP ProCurve 2910al-24G (J9145A), 2910al-48G (J9147A), 2910al-24G-PoE+ (J9146A) and 2910al-48G-PoE+ (J9148A) switches. It will not function in other ProCurve families, newer Aruba platforms or third-party hardware. Buyers who need 10G uplinks on different switches must select a supported module for those platforms.

Questions about this item

How do I install the J9165A module into a ProCurve 2910al switch without damaging the 10GBase-CX4 port?

Power off the 2910al-24G or 2910al-48G switch, slide the silver expansion module into the open bay until the latch clicks, then attach the CX4 cable before powering on.

What replacement parts will the J9165A need after extended operation?

The module has no moving parts or consumables; only the external CX4 cable assembly may require replacement if the connector latch wears or the cable is damaged.

What is the first limit reached when the J9165A runs at 10 Gigabit Ethernet continuously?

The single 10GBase-CX4 port caps throughput at 10 Gb/s, so sustained line-rate traffic hits the port bandwidth ceiling before any thermal or power limit appears.
