Know before you buy
This module is designed exclusively for the HPE 5400R zl2 Switch Series. It will not fit or function in other HPE switch chassis.
MACsec provides hardware-based, line-rate encryption for data moving between switches. It ensures that your data remains secure and tamper-proof across your local network links.
While the module features 24 SFP slots, it is optimized for 1000Base-X optical fiber technology. You should verify that your specific SFP transceivers are compatible with the HPE 5400R zl2 platform.
This is a managed expansion module. Once installed in your HPE 5400R zl2 switch, it is configured and managed through the switch's existing management interface.
No, this module is strictly limited to a 1 Gbit/s data transfer rate per port. It is intended for high-density Gigabit Ethernet connectivity rather than multi-gigabit or 10GbE uplinks.
