20-Port Gigabit PoE Expansion
This HPE J9536A module adds twenty RJ-45 1000Base-T Power over Ethernet ports to a compatible switch chassis. It is designed for network administrators who need to connect and power devices such as IP phones, wireless access points or security cameras over twisted-pair cabling.
Two SFP+ Uplink Slots
The unit provides two SFP+ expansion slots for fibre or direct-attach uplinks, letting the module link back to the core switch without consuming front-panel RJ-45 ports. All twenty copper ports and both uplinks are housed in a single hot-pluggable module that slides into an available chassis bay.
Gigabit Copper Distance Limit
Each RJ-45 port operates at 1000Base-T over twisted pair, which restricts cable runs to the standard 100-metre maximum for Gigabit Ethernet. The two SFP+ slots accept separate transceivers to extend reach beyond that limit, but those optics are not included with the module.

Questions about this item
What speed does the 1000Base-T interface cap at on the J9536A?
The 20 RJ-45 ports run at Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-T, so each copper link tops out at 1 Gbps.
How many SFP+ slots does the module have and what chassis space is required?
Two SFP+ expansion slots are provided; the module installs in a single slot of a compatible HPE switch chassis.
What is the correct order to seat the module and connect PoE cables?
Power down the chassis, slide the J9536A in until the latch clicks, then attach the twisted-pair cables to the 20 RJ-45 ports.
