HP 24p 1GbE SFP v3 zl2 Mod

The HPE 24p 1GbE SFP v3 zl2 is a 24-port switch module for compatible HPE zl2 switches, suited to enterprise or campus networks that need to add multiple 1GbE SFP connections.

Recommended For

• Network teams adding up to 24 Gigabit SFP interfaces to a compatible HPE Aruba 5400R zl2 chassis, rather than replacing the switch with a standalone unit.
• Enterprise or campus network operators connecting fiber-equipped devices or links where 1GbE capacity is sufficient and the selected SFP transceivers match the fiber type and reach.
• Organizations expanding a 5400R zl2 network that need a high-density block of fiber-facing ports for server, distribution, or building links without using copper access ports.
• Network administrators evaluating MACsec for links on a compatible 5400R zl2 deployment, with support and configuration verified against their switch software and network design.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• When a campus or multi-building network needs more fiber connections, an IT team can install the module in a compatible 5400R zl2 chassis and connect fiber-linked switches; the links operate at 1 GbE, with reach depending on the selected optics and fiber.
• When an existing 5400R zl2 chassis runs short of fiber ports, a network team can add this module to expand fiber connectivity without replacing the chassis; the module is intended for compatible 5400R zl2 switches.
• When connecting several nearby access or distribution switches over fiber, a team can use the module’s SFP ports for their 1 GbE links; this provides fiber connectivity, but not the higher per-link speeds of 10 GbE SFP+.
• When servers or other network equipment have compatible 1 GbE SFP interfaces, an administrator can connect them to the chassis over fiber; the connection works at 1 GbE and requires matching, supported transceivers and fiber.
• When a fiber-connected endpoint does not need Power over Ethernet, this module can provide network connectivity through an SFP link; it is a fiber-port module, not a way to power devices such as access points or cameras.
