J9995A - Aruba 8-port 1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T PoE+ MACsec v3 zl2 Module

Aruba J9995A — 5400R zl2 24-Port 1G/10G SFP+ MACsec v3 zl2 Module

What it is

J9995A isn’t a switch or optic — it’s a chassis line module.
It’s the 24-port 1G/10GbE SFP+ MACsec v3 zl2 expansion module for the Aruba 5400R zl2 Series chassis (5406R zl2 / 5412R zl2). You install it in a zl2 module slot to add twenty-four SFP+ ports that run 1G or 10G, with hardware MACsec so you can encrypt links at line rate.

Why buyers pick J9995A (plain English)

• Massive 10G uplink density in one slot
  Great when a 5400R chassis needs lots of fiber uplinks to access closets, servers, or downstream switches.

• MACsec built in for secure links
  Encrypt switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links without a performance hit.

• Flexible per-port speed
  Each port supports 1G SFP or 10G SFP+, so you can mix legacy 1G optics and new 10G uplinks.

• Hot-swappable chassis module
  Designed for fast upgrades/replacements in HA chassis setups.

Install / service

• Slot-based, hot-swappable module

• Best with redundant management + PSU for clean maintenance

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• 5400R zl2 cores/distribution needing high-density 10G fiber

• Campus backbones feeding many access closets

• Environments requiring secure MACsec uplinks

Choose something else if:

• You need 40G/100G uplinks → use QSFP+ / QSFP28 zl2 modules

• You only need a few 10G ports → the 8-port SFP+ module may be enough

• You’re not on a 5400R zl2 chassis → this module won’t fit

TL;DR

J9995A is the 5400R zl2 “24-port SFP+ 1G/10G uplink module with MACsec”:
adds 24 flexible fiber uplinks plus hardware MACsec v3 for secure, encrypted links across your campus or data center edge.
