HP 5069-3903 24 x 1000Base-T PoE Integrated Switch Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP 5069-3903 is a high-density Gigabit Ethernet switch module designed to integrate directly into HP ProLiant C-Class BladeSystem enclosures. This module offers 24 ports of 1000Base-T connectivity, providing robust network access for devices within or connected to the blade infrastructure. A key feature of this expansion module is its integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, which allows it to supply electrical power to connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras over the same Ethernet cable used for data transmission. This switch module simplifies network deployment within the blade environment by consolidating network ports and power delivery into a single, hot-pluggable unit. It is managed through the HP BladeSystem's management interface, such as the Onboard Administrator or, if deployed, the Virtual Connect Manager, offering centralized control and configuration. This integration ensures that network services are easily provisioned and managed alongside the blade servers themselves. The 5069-3903 is ideal for environments that require extensive network connectivity with Power over Ethernet support, such as enterprise data centers, campus networks, or branch offices utilizing HP blade servers. Its high port density and PoE capabilities reduce the need for separate power injectors or switches, leading to a more streamlined and cost-effective infrastructure deployment. The module ensures reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance for connected devices while also providing the convenience of power delivery.
