HP J4110-61001 ProCurve 8000M 10 x Open Module Slots Switch Chassis

Product Description

The HP J4110-61001 is the chassis for the ProCurve 8000M modular switch system. This chassis provides the core framework and power supply for a highly configurable network switch. It is equipped with 10 open module slots, allowing network administrators to customize the switch's capabilities by installing various interface modules (e.g., Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, fiber optic) and feature modules (e.g., routing, security). This modularity enables organizations to tailor the switch precisely to their network topology and performance requirements. The ProCurve 8000M series was known for its flexibility and scalability in enterprise networking environments. The chassis itself provides the necessary backplane connectivity, power distribution, and management interface for the installed modules. It is designed to be rack-mounted, fitting standard 19-inch racks, which is typical for enterprise network hardware. This specific model, J4110-61001, represents the base chassis. To function as a complete switch, it requires the installation of a management module and at least one interface module. The 10 available slots offer significant room for expansion and redundancy, making it a versatile solution for core or distribution layer switching in medium to large networks. HP's ProCurve line was recognized for its robust feature set and ease of management.
