The HPE Aruba J9990A is a 24-port switch module with 20 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ copper ports and four 1G/10GbE SFP+ ports, designed for network teams expanding compatible Aruba 5400R zl2 switches with both device connectivity and fiber uplinks.
Recommended For
- Network teams expanding an existing HPE Aruba 5400R zl2 chassis that need 20 additional Gigabit PoE+ copper ports and four 1G/10GbE SFP+ ports for uplinks.
- Campus and enterprise wiring-closet teams connecting PoE+ access points, IP phones, or security cameras while keeping fiber or SFP+ uplink options in the same modular switch.
- Organizations that need link-level MACsec on supported connections and want to add the J9990A module to a 5400R zl2 network.
- IT teams standardizing wired access around a 5400R zl2 chassis and needing modular port capacity for a mix of Gigabit Ethernet endpoints and 10GbE SFP+ connections.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In a campus or office wiring closet, connect wireless access points, IP phones, and security cameras to the same switch chassis; PoE+ can power compatible devices over their Ethernet cables, reducing the need for separate device power adapters.
- When a closet switch needs to connect to a campus core or nearby server network, use the SFP+ ports for 10GbE uplinks; with compatible optics or direct-attach cables, this provides a higher-speed path than a 1GbE link.
- For a building-to-building or wiring-closet fiber connection, use a compatible SFP or SFP+ transceiver matched to the installed fiber and link distance; the module can then carry the connection over fiber instead of copper Ethernet.
- Where switch-to-switch traffic needs link-level protection, enable MACsec on a compatible 1GbE or 10GbE link; encryption requires a supported peer and matching configuration on both ends.
- When a 5400R zl2 chassis needs more copper access ports alongside fiber uplinks, install this module in a supported chassis slot; it adds those connections without requiring a separate standalone access switch.
