The J9546A is the HPE 8-port 10GBase-T v2 zl Module. It adds eight RJ-45 10-GbE ports to a zl chassis, and every port runs full duplex only. The ports use twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for 10GBase-T operation over Category 6 or better 100-ohm UTP or STP cable. No transceivers are involved, and PoE is not supported on this module.
Reach depends on the cable. Up to 100 m is possible with qualified 10GBase-T Cat7 (shielded), Cat6a (shielded or unshielded) and Cat6 (shielded, tested to 350 MHz under TIA/EIA TSB-155A) cabling. Unshielded Cat6 tested to the same 350 MHz limit works up to 55 m. For conducted and radiated immunity under EN55024, the module meets Performance Criteria A when it is used with shielded Cat 6 or 6A cable.
The module is 10.3 in deep, 8.13 in wide and 1.75 in high (26.16 x 20.65 x 4.45 cm) and weighs 2.1 lb (0.95 kg), the same with a full configuration. It slides into a module slot of the 5400 zl chassis. The J9546A is also the 10GBase-T module fitted in the J9866A 5406 bundle, where it sits alongside the J9538A 8-port 10GbE SFP+ v2 zl module and a 1500 W PoE+ zl power supply.
For the chassis that takes it, see the J8697A HPE ProCurve 5406 zl switch chassis, and for gigabit ports the J8702A 24-port Gig-T PoE zl module. The full range of zl switches and modules is in HPE switches.
In the same family, the J9538A is the SFP+ equivalent with eight open 10GbE slots, which suits fiber links where this copper module covers short-run twisted pair.
