HP J4113-69001 ProCurve 2 x Ports 1000Base-T Gigabit-SX Expansion Module for 1600M Switch Series

Product Description

The HP J4113-69001 is a dedicated expansion module for the HP ProCurve 1600M Switch Series, designed to enhance its port density and provide high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This module adds two 1000Base-T ports, allowing for faster uplinks to core switches or direct connections to high-bandwidth end devices such as servers or network-attached storage (NAS) systems. Each of the two ports supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices and providing flexibility in network design. The 1000Base-T standard utilizes standard copper cabling (Category 5e or higher) for Gigabit speeds, making it a cost-effective solution for upgrading network performance. The module is designed for simple installation into the expansion slot of the compatible 1600M switch. By incorporating the J4113-69001 module, network administrators can increase the capacity and performance of their existing ProCurve 1600M switches. This is particularly useful in environments where additional Gigabit ports are needed for server connections, high-speed workstations, or aggregation points, without requiring a complete switch replacement. It offers a practical way to scale network infrastructure and meet growing bandwidth demands.
