The HP J8705A is a modular switch expansion blade designed for the HP ProCurve / HPE 5400zl and 8200zl chassis switch series.
It provides a combination of high-density copper Gigabit Ethernet ports and fiber uplink flexibility, making it suitable for enterprise access layer expansion or aggregation roles inside a modular chassis.
This module is part of the zl “plug-in switch blade” architecture, meaning it does not operate standalone and must be installed in a compatible chassis.
Key Features
- 20 × 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports
- 4 × SFP (mini-GBIC) uplink slots for fiber connectivity
- Supports auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X
- Designed for enterprise modular switching in 5400zl/8200zl chassis
- Enables scalable port density expansion without replacing core switch
- Supports typical enterprise features:
- VLANs (802.1Q)
- Link aggregation
- QoS and traffic prioritization
- Hot-insertable zl module (chassis dependent)
