3Com 0231A30M H3C S5500 1 x Port 10GE XFP Interface Module

Product Description

The 3Com 0231A55W is an advanced Interface Module designed for telecommunications and carrier-grade networking environments. It features a single port that supports channelized Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) at 155Mbps, with the capability to aggregate multiple E1 circuits. This functionality is crucial for efficiently consolidating lower-speed E1 traffic onto a higher-speed backbone. This module leverages SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) technology, allowing for flexible deployment and easy replacement. The channelization feature enables network operators to break down the 155Mbps POS interface into multiple E1 channels (typically 30 E1s per 155Mbps link), optimizing bandwidth utilization and reducing the need for numerous individual E1 interfaces. The 0231A30M is an Interface Module designed for the H3C S5500 series of switches, providing a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) port. This module utilizes the XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) form factor, which is a standard for high-speed optical transceivers, allowing for flexible and hot-swappable connectivity. This module is essential for creating high-bandwidth uplinks or backbone connections within a network. It enables the switch to connect to other high-speed network devices, such as core routers or other switches, at 10Gbps speeds, facilitating the efficient transfer of large volumes of data. Its inclusion in the S5500 series enhances the switch's capability to handle demanding applications and growing network traffic. The 0231A30M is a key component for enterprises and service providers looking to build scalable and high-performance networks. By supporting 10GE connectivity, it ensures that the network infrastructure can keep pace with the increasing demands for bandwidth driven by data-intensive applications, virtualization, and cloud computing.
