3Com 0231A73B H3C S9500 24 x Ports 1000Base-X SFP Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module

Product Description

The 3Com 0231A73B is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet interface module specifically designed for integration into the H3C S9500 series of modular switches. This module equips the switch chassis with 24 ports that accept SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers, enabling flexible deployment of 1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet connections. These ports are crucial for establishing high-speed uplinks to core networks, connecting to other high-capacity switches, or providing high-bandwidth access to demanding servers and storage devices. The 1000Base-X standard ensures reliable and efficient data transmission at 1 Gbps per port. The use of SFP transceivers allows for a wide range of fiber optic or copper cabling options to be used, depending on the specific transceiver installed and the distance requirements of the network. This modularity provides significant flexibility in network design and future upgrades, as different types of SFPs can be swapped in as needed. This interface module is a vital component for enterprise-level networks that require substantial bandwidth and low latency. Its integration into the S9500 platform allows for a scalable and powerful switching solution capable of handling the most demanding data traffic. The hot-swappable nature of the module ensures that network maintenance or expansion can be performed without interrupting ongoing operations, maintaining the high availability expected in critical business environments.
