HPE 5406R 8-port Multi-Gigabit PoE+ Switch

The HPE 5406R is a modular chassis switch that provides eight HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit RJ-45 ports with PoE+ support and eight 10GbE SFP+ transceiver slots. It fits into a 5406R chassis with four open module slots for expansion. The unit ships without a power supply.

Suits multi-gigabit access layers.

This switch suits networks that need 100M, 1, 2.5, 5, or 10GBaseT connections with PoE+ on the same ports. It also serves uplinks via the eight SFP+ slots. Buyers who want a fixed-configuration switch without a chassis should look elsewhere. The modular design adds cost and space if you only need a few ports.

Maximum 144 autosensing Gigabit or 48 SFP+ ports

The chassis supports a maximum of 144 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports or 144 SFP ports. It also supports up to 48 SFP+ ports, 48 HPE Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports, or 12 40GbE ports in various combinations. This capacity ceiling determines whether the platform fits your planned port count.

Questions about this item

Does the switch ship with power supplies or transceivers, or do I need to order them separately?

The chassis is supplied without power supplies; the eight SFP+ slots accept optional 10GbE transceivers, and the four module slots take optional line cards, so both must be purchased separately.

Should I populate the eight RJ-45 Smart Rate ports or the eight SFP+ slots for 10 GbE uplinks?

Both sets run at 10 GbE; use the RJ-45 ports for copper connections up to 100 m and the SFP+ slots for fibre or direct-attach cables when longer reach is needed.

What total 10 GbE port density can this chassis reach when fully expanded?

With the four module slots filled, the system scales to a maximum of 48 SFP+ ports at 10 GbE alongside the eight fixed SFP+ slots.
