HP J4881-95001 ProCurve 9300 EP 48 x Ports 10/100Base-TX Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Expansion Switch

Product Description

The HP J4881-95001 is a high-density Fast Ethernet expansion module specifically designed for the HP ProCurve 9300 EP Series modular chassis. It provides 48 ports of 10/100Base-TX connectivity, enabling network administrators to significantly increase the number of edge ports available for connecting end-user devices such as workstations, IP phones, and printers. This module is ideal for large enterprise environments where extensive port density is required at the network access layer. Operating at Layer 2, this module functions as a full-featured Fast Ethernet switch, offering capabilities such as auto-negotiation for port speed and duplex settings, ensuring seamless integration with various network devices. It supports a switching capacity of up to 9.6 Gbps and a forwarding rate of up to 7.1 million packets per second (Mpps), which is sufficient for handling the traffic demands of a large number of connected devices at 10/100 Mbps speeds. The module also includes support for IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for basic traffic prioritization. As an expansion module for the ProCurve 9300 EP Series, the J4881-95001 leverages the modularity and management capabilities of the chassis. It allows for flexible network design, enabling organizations to scale their network infrastructure by adding port density as needed. This module is a cost-effective solution for extending network reach to a large number of users within an office or campus environment, providing reliable and efficient connectivity for standard business applications.
