HP J4142-95001 ProCurve 9300 Series 24 x Ports 100Base-FX MT-RJ Ethernet Switch Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP J4142-95001 is a specialized expansion module engineered to augment the capabilities of the HP ProCurve 9300 Series modular switches. This module significantly increases the network's reach and capacity by adding 24 dedicated 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet ports. These ports utilize the MT-RJ connector, a compact form factor designed for fiber optic cabling, making this module ideal for environments requiring high-speed, long-distance network connections. By integrating this module into a compatible ProCurve 9300 Series chassis, network administrators can easily expand their fiber optic network infrastructure without replacing the entire switch. This is particularly useful in enterprise networks, data centers, or campus environments where fiber optic cabling is prevalent for backbone connections or to overcome distance limitations inherent in copper cabling. The 100Base-FX standard ensures reliable data transmission at Fast Ethernet speeds. This expansion module is a key component for building robust and scalable network architectures. It allows for the seamless addition of numerous fiber optic endpoints, supporting the growing demand for bandwidth and connectivity in modern IT infrastructures. The J4142-95001 exemplifies HP's commitment to providing modular and upgradeable networking solutions.
