Netwerk-switchmodule HPE J9989A Gigabit Ethernet

The HPE J9989A Gigabit Ethernet module is a network switch module designed for use in compatible HP Enterprise chassis. It provides 12 PoE+ copper Gigabit ports (10/100/1000BASE-T) and 12 1GbE SFP ports, supporting mixed copper and fiber connectivity with MACsec v3 zl2 for enhanced link security. The module weighs 2.07 lb and has minimum dimensions of 10.3 x 8.13 x 1.75 in. The package includes one HPE 5400R 12-port 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ and 12-port 1GbE SFP with MACsec v3 zl2 Module.

Advantages

The module combines PoE+ copper ports and SFP fiber ports on a single line card, enabling flexible deployment of both powered devices and uplink/fiber aggregation. Support for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s auto-negotiation ensures compatibility with legacy and modern devices, while MACsec v3 zl2 provides hardware-level link encryption for improved security. Compact form factor and standard module dimensions make it suitable for modular HP Enterprise switching platforms.

Suitable for

• Enterprise and branch network aggregation
• Deployments requiring mixed copper PoE+ and fiber SFP connectivity
• Environments needing MACsec link-level encryption
• Upgrading existing modular HP Enterprise switch chassis

How to use

Install the J9989A module into a compatible HPE chassis following the chassis documentation and safety procedures. Connect copper devices to the 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports and fibre uplinks or SFP transceivers to the 1GbE SFP ports as required. Configure port settings, PoE budgets, and MACsec via the switch operating system or management interface according to network policies. Verify link status and power draw after cabling and initial configuration.

Recommendations

Ensure the host chassis supports the HPE 5400R series modules and that available PoE budget meets the connected devices' requirements. Use compatible SFP modules for fiber links and follow HPE guidelines for MACsec key management and firmware updates to maintain security and interoperability.
