Questions & Answers
What is the HPE SKU J9988A 24P 1GbE SFP v3 ZL2 MOD PL=35 switch?
The HPE SKU J9988A is a 24-port 1 GbE SFP modular switch, third-generation (v3), with ZL2 silicon and 35 W power limit, designed for high-performance enterprise networks.
Which SFP transceivers are compatible with SKU J9988A?
SKU J9988A supports all HPE 1 GbE SFP LC transceivers, including 1000BASE-SX, ‑LX, ‑BX, and CWDM/DWDM modules for varied fiber-optic distances.
What is the maximum fiber distance supported by this switch?
When equipped with HPE 1000BASE-LX SFPs, the J9988A supports single-mode fiber runs up to 10 km; with DWDM modules, distances extend to 80 km or more.
Can I hot-swap SFP modules on the J9988A?
Yes. The J9988A’s modular SFP bays are hot-swappable, allowing you to install or replace transceivers without powering down the switch.
Which HPE switch families is the J9988A compatible with?
The J9988A is fully interoperable with HPE FlexNetwork and Aruba-branded switches, including the 5400R, 8400, 5130, 8320, and 2930F series.
