HP 0231A0KV ProCurve A5800 2-Ports 10Gb/s 10GBase-X SFP+ Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP 0231A0KV is a high-performance expansion module designed to augment the capabilities of HP A5800 series network switches. This module features two 10Gb/s SFP+ ports, providing significant bandwidth for high-speed network connections. By adding these ports, network administrators can increase the uplink capacity of their switches, connect to high-performance servers, or establish high-speed links to other network aggregation points, thereby enhancing the overall network performance and scalability. The module utilizes the SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface, which is the industry standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate SFP+ transceivers (sold separately) based on the required fiber type (e.g., multi-mode or single-mode) and transmission distance. The 0231A0KV is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the A5800 switch chassis, ensuring reliable operation and easy installation, often supporting hot-swapping for minimal disruption to network services. This expansion module is crucial for network infrastructures that require increased throughput and density for demanding applications such as data center virtualization, high-performance computing, and large-scale enterprise networks. The HP 0231A0KV enables organizations to efficiently upgrade their network backbone and edge connectivity without replacing their existing switch infrastructure, offering a cost-effective path to higher speeds and greater network capacity.
