Aruba 24-port 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ Module | MACsec, RJ-45

Add powered access where it matters most. This Aruba 24-port 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ v3 zl2 module is built for the HP 5400R zl2 Switch Series and brings 24 RJ-45 copper ports into a modular chassis design. It is a strong fit for enterprise networks that need to connect and power phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other edge devices from a single switching platform. With Gigabit Ethernet over 1000BASE-T, the module supports standard twisted-pair cabling and up to 1 Gbit/s data transfer per port. The PoE+ capability reduces the need for separate power runs, which simplifies deployment in wiring closets and distributed access locations. For teams managing secure enterprise traffic, the MACsec-capable design adds another layer of control at the edge. At 1.87 lb, this module adds meaningful port density without forcing a platform change. It is the kind of expansion choice that makes sense when the chassis is already in place and the goal is to extend service life, preserve compatibility, and keep the access layer organized. Compared with lower-grade alternatives, it offers the operational value of integrated power delivery and secure modular expansion in one component.
