HPE 5406R 16-port SFP+ (No PSU) v3 zl2 network switch

SKU CH-QG7R-ZWGKV MPN 5406R

A modular Layer 3 switch with 16 SFP+ ports for 10 GbE uplinks in a 5406R chassis

  • Switch TypeLayer 3 Switch
  • Layer 3 routing built on a programmable 6th generation ASIC
  • Modular 6-slot chassis scales with 16 SFP+ ports
  • Redundant management ensures continuous network resiliency
  • MACsec-ready hardware protects data at line rate
  • Smart Rate interfaces support 10 and 40 gigabit speeds

16-port SFP+ modular switch

The HPE 5406R v3 zl2 is a Layer 3 modular chassis with sixteen SFP+ ports and no power supply included. It belongs to the 5400R zl2 series built on a programmable 6th Generation ASIC supporting QoS, SDN and MACsec hardware. The switch fits into the 6-slot or 12-slot chassis line for scalable deployments. Redundant management adds resiliency for critical networks.

Who this suits and who it does not

Network teams needing a high-density 10 Gigabit uplink or aggregation layer in a modular framework will match this switch. Buyers who require integrated PoE+ power for endpoints should select a different module. Environments that need 40 Gigabit or Smart Rate multi-gigabit interfaces must look at other blades in the same series. Standalone fixed-configuration buyers should consider non-modular alternatives.

The deciding specification

Sixteen SFP+ ports define the port density and 10 Gigabit speed ceiling of this module. The chassis accepts additional line cards up to the slot limit of the chosen 5400R zl2 frame. No power supply ships with the unit so budgeting for redundant PSUs is mandatory. This port count and interface type are the primary filters for compatibility.

Questions about this item

Does the 5406R chassis accept standard rack-mount rails?

The 5406R is a modular chassis in the 5400R zl2 series that mounts in a rack using the rails supplied with the chassis; verify the rail kit matches your rack depth before installation.

What is the correct order for inserting the management module and SFP+ transceivers during initial setup?

Power on the chassis after the management module is fully seated, then insert SFP+ transceivers into the 16 front-panel ports; inserting optics before the management module is ready can prevent link negotiation.

Which field-replaceable units should be kept as spares for the 5406R over a five-year lifecycle?

Plan to stock spare power supplies, fan trays and the management module; the 16-port SFP+ line module itself is not hot-swappable without a chassis reboot.
