HP - 3CR17660-91-ME 8X 10/100/1000 + 4X 10/100/1000 OR SFP

Product Description

The HP 3CR17660-91-ME is a sophisticated network interface module engineered to enhance the capabilities of compatible HP and Aruba switching platforms. It offers a robust set of connectivity options, comprising eight auto-negotiating 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports, which are suitable for a wide range of standard network devices. Complementing these are four additional ports that can be configured either as 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports or as SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots. This dual-functionality allows network administrators to choose between copper-based Gigabit Ethernet connections or fiber-optic transceivers, providing the flexibility needed for diverse network topologies and distances. This module is particularly valuable for network aggregation and access layer deployments within enterprise environments. The ability to mix and match port types allows for optimized bandwidth allocation and efficient integration of various network segments, including servers, workstations, and other network infrastructure components. The Gigabit Ethernet speeds ensure high throughput, minimizing latency and maximizing performance for demanding applications. Its design is focused on providing a reliable and scalable solution for modern network infrastructures that require both high port density and connectivity versatility. Installation and configuration of the 3CR17660-91-ME are typically straightforward, designed to integrate seamlessly with the management interfaces of supported HP and Aruba switches. This ensures that network administrators can easily deploy, monitor, and manage the module as part of the overall network fabric. The module represents a cost-effective way to expand the port capacity and connectivity options of existing switch chassis without requiring a complete hardware replacement, thereby extending the life and utility of the network investment.
