Hpe 5400R 24-Port 10/100/1000Base-T Poe+ With Macsec V3 Zl2 Module

The HPE 5400R 24-port PoE+ MACsec v3 zl2 module adds 24 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports to a compatible 5400R zl2 switch, making it suitable for campus or enterprise networks connecting wired devices that need PoE+ and MACsec link security.

Recommended For

• Network teams expanding an existing HPE Aruba 5400R zl2 chassis with Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports for wired access points, phones, cameras, or other compatible endpoints.
• Campus and enterprise network administrators who already operate a 5400R zl2 chassis and want to add copper access capacity within its modular switch platform.
• Organizations with a 5400R zl2 deployment that need 24 additional 1GbE copper PoE+ ports and want a module identified for MACsec use.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a campus wiring closet, an IT team adds this module to a compatible HPE 5400R zl2 chassis to connect another group of wired devices; the modular chassis gains 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports without requiring a separate standalone access switch.
• When connecting wireless access points, the switch can carry network traffic and supply PoE+ over the same Ethernet cable, reducing the need for separate power outlets near each access point; available chassis PoE power still limits the total load.
• For office phone deployments, an IT team can connect compatible PoE-powered IP phones to the access ports, providing each phone with both network connectivity and power through its Ethernet cable.
• In a building security installation, compatible PoE cameras can connect at the network edge without a separate local power cable, helping simplify camera placement where Ethernet is available.
• Where a network team requires link-layer protection on wired connections, it can configure MACsec on supported ports and use it with compatible devices at the other end; encryption is not automatic just because the module includes MACsec support.
