Product Description
The HP 288908-B21 Netelligent 100Base-FX Uplink Module is a hardware component designed to expand the connectivity options of compatible HP ProCurve network switches. This module specifically provides a high-speed uplink port that utilizes fiber optic technology, operating at 100 Mbps according to the 100Base-FX standard. The 'FX' designation indicates that it uses multi-mode fiber optic cable, which is suitable for medium-range distances, typically up to 2 kilometers, depending on the fiber type and quality. This module is crucial for connecting switches to higher-tier network infrastructure, such as core routers or other switches located further away, where standard copper Ethernet (like 100Base-TX) would not reach. The use of fiber optics also offers advantages in environments with high electromagnetic interference, as fiber is immune to such disturbances. It allows for the creation of robust and reliable network backbones or interconnections between network closets. Installation of this module typically involves inserting it into a dedicated expansion slot on a compatible HP ProCurve switch. Once installed, it provides an additional port that can be configured for network traffic, serving as a critical link in the network topology. Its purpose is to facilitate high-bandwidth communication over distances that exceed the limitations of copper cabling, ensuring efficient data flow within larger campus or enterprise networks.
