HP J4112-69001 ProCurve 4 x Ports 10/100Base-FX Multi-mode Fiber SC Connector Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP J4112-69001 is a multi-port expansion module designed for HP ProCurve switches, offering four 10/100Base-FX Fast Ethernet ports that utilize multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This module is specifically engineered to provide reliable network connectivity over extended distances where standard copper Ethernet cabling is insufficient. The use of fiber optics offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and allows for data transmission over longer runs compared to copper. Each of the four ports on the J4112-69001 module terminates with an SC connector, a common and robust physical interface for fiber optic connections. The module supports multi-mode fiber, which is typically used for shorter to medium distances, in this case, up to 2 kilometers. This makes it an excellent choice for connecting network segments within a large building, across a campus environment, or between adjacent facilities where fiber optic infrastructure is already in place or is the preferred medium for its inherent advantages. By adding this module to a compatible HP ProCurve switch, network administrators can effectively extend their network reach, connect remote network closets, or establish high-speed links between different parts of an organization's campus. The 10/100 Mbps speed per port is suitable for a wide range of applications that do not require Gigabit speeds but benefit from the reliability and distance capabilities of fiber optics. The J4112-69001 module enhances the flexibility and scalability of HP ProCurve networks, enabling robust connectivity solutions for diverse deployment scenarios.
