HPE Aruba 8p 1G/10GbE SFP+ v3 zl2 module

Expanding high-speed connectivity on Aruba 5400R zl2 switches often means wrestling with port density and fiber readiness. This 8-port SFP+ module solves that by adding eight flexible 1G/10G fiber uplinks in a single hot-swappable slot, so your network core can scale without a forklift upgrade.

Who is it for

Network engineers and IT managers running Aruba 5400R zl2 chassis who need to aggregate fiber links, connect to 10G backbone switches, or future-proof access layer uplinks. Ideal for campus and branch environments where uptime and modular growth matter.
