HP J4113A ProCurve 2 x Ports 1000Base-T Gigabit-SX Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP J4113A is an expansion module designed to add flexible Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to compatible HP ProCurve switches. This module features two 1000Base-T ports, which utilize standard RJ-45 connectors and Cat5e or higher cabling to deliver Gigabit speeds. The primary function of this module is to provide copper-based Gigabit connectivity, making it ideal for connecting servers, workstations, or other network devices that require higher bandwidth than Fast Ethernet, or for creating Gigabit uplinks to other network segments. This expansion module is particularly useful for enhancing the capabilities of older or lower-port-density ProCurve switches, allowing them to support the increasing demands for network speed. Its inclusion enables network administrators to upgrade their infrastructure incrementally, adding Gigabit performance where it is most needed without replacing the entire switch. The 1000Base-T interface ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that uses standard Ethernet ports. The HP J4113A is designed for straightforward installation into the expansion slot of a compatible ProCurve switch. Once installed, it seamlessly integrates with the switch's management interface, allowing for easy configuration and monitoring. This module offers a cost-effective solution for extending Gigabit Ethernet reach and improving network performance in various enterprise and campus network deployments.
