Description

HPE FlexNetwork 5520HI/5600HI 8 Port SFP Plus Module

Enhance your enterprise network with the HPE FlexNetwork 5520HI/5600HI 8 Port SFP Plus Module. Designed for seamless integration with HPE’s FlexNetwork family, this expansion module adds eight high-speed SFP+ ports to compatible switches, delivering scalable 10 GbE connectivity for data networking and optical networks. Built to endure the demands of modern IT environments, the module combines dense port capacity, flexible optics, and reliable operation to help you optimize uplinks, server access, and storage traffic. Whether you’re expanding a campus core, consolidating data-center links, or upgrading disaster recovery pathways, this module provides the performance and manageability you need without redesigning your network.

  • Compatibility and seamless integration: Specifically engineered for HPE FlexNetwork 5520HI and 5600HI switches, this module slots into the standard expansion bay and is managed via the switch’s interface, ensuring plug-and-play deployment with minimal downtime. The design aligns with HPE’s hot-swappable strategy, enabling engineers to scale networks without powering down critical infrastructure. With automatic negotiation and compatibility with existing fiber infrastructure, you can upgrade uplink capacity incrementally as your data demands grow.
  • High-density 8-port SFP+ capacity: Eight 10 GbE SFP+ ports provide abundant uplink bandwidth and server connectivity in a compact, hot-swappable module. This density reduces equipment footprint in racks and simplifies cabling in crowded data centers while supporting sophisticated topologies like leaf-spine, collapsed core, and edge connectivity. It’s ideal for aggregating storage traffic, VM migrations, and high-performance computing links, enabling scalable growth without swapping hardware.
  • 10 GbE performance per port: Each SFP+ port supports up to 10 Gbps, enabling high-speed data transfers for virtualization, backups, disaster recovery, and real-time analytics. When used with appropriate transceivers and fiber types, you can tailor distance and reach to fit campus backbones or data-center mezzanines, while maintaining low latency and predictable throughput. This ensures smooth operation for demanding workloads such as virtualized environments and data-intensive applications.
  • Transceiver flexibility and optics compatibility: Compatible with standard SFP+ optical transceivers (sold separately), including SR (short-range), LR (long-range), and other interface options, enabling you to select the right fiber type, wavelength, and distance. This flexibility makes it easy to extend fiber runs across rooms, floors, or campus buildings using existing fiber infrastructure and future-proof your investment if your network design evolves.
  • Reliability and manageability: HPE builds this module to enterprise-grade reliability with proven interoperability in FlexNetwork environments. The unit uses a robust thermal and mechanical design to withstand dense data-center conditions and is backed by standard HPE warranty terms. It integrates with common management workflows, including the switch’s CLI, SNMP-based monitoring, and the HPE network management ecosystem, enabling proactive health checks and straightforward fault isolation.

How to install HPE FlexNetwork 5520HI/5600HI 8 Port SFP Plus Module

  • Power down the switch if required by your maintenance policy; many HPE platforms support hot-swapping, but verify your specific model’s guidelines before installation.
  • Identify the correct expansion slot in the chassis and remove any blank panel or cover as instructed in the device’s maintenance manual.
  • Align the module with the slot and slide it into the backplane until it seats firmly and the locking mechanism engages.
  • Insert compatible SFP+ transceivers into each port (sold separately) according to your network design, and connect fiber optic cables or copper DACs as needed for your topology.
  • Power on the switch (or resume operation) and configure each SFP+ port via the switch management interface to set speed negotiation, duplex, VLANs, QoS, and port security as required.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the purpose of the 8 Port SFP+ module? A: It adds eight 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces to compatible HPE FlexNetwork switches, enabling high-density fiber connectivity for data networking and optical networks.
  • Q: Is the module hot-swappable? A: Yes. It is designed for hot-swappable operation within compatible HPE FlexNetwork switches, minimizing downtime during upgrades or expansions.
  • Q: Do I need separate transceivers? A: Yes. Standard SFP+ transceivers (sold separately) are required for each port, and you should choose optics based on your fiber type, distance, and application needs.
