HP J4116-61301 1Gb/s GBIC Copper-Mode Transceiver

Product Description

The HP J4116-61301 is a Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) transceiver module that enables Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper cabling. GBIC is an older standard for modular transceivers, typically used in network switches and routers, that predates the more common SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules. This specific module is designed for copper media, meaning it connects to standard RJ45 Ethernet ports and supports data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s). This transceiver is hot-swappable, allowing it to be installed or removed from a network device without the need to power down the equipment. This feature is crucial in enterprise environments where network uptime is paramount. The J4116-61301 interfaces with the network switch or router via its GBIC slot and provides an RJ45 port for connecting to the network infrastructure using standard Ethernet patch cables. The primary function of the HP J4116-61301 is to provide a high-speed network connection for devices that are equipped with GBIC slots. It is suitable for use in data centers, enterprise networks, and other environments where reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over copper is required. Its copper-mode operation makes it ideal for shorter-distance connections within a building or campus.
