HP J8730-61101 8116FL Redundant 16 x RJ-45 Fabric Switch Module

Product Description

The HP J8730-61101 is a specialized module engineered to expand the port density and connectivity options of the HP 8116FL Fabric Switch. It offers sixteen individual RJ-45 ports, each capable of supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps). This makes it an ideal component for connecting a large number of servers, storage devices, or other network endpoints that require reliable and high-throughput Ethernet connections within a data center or enterprise network infrastructure. This module is designed to integrate seamlessly into the modular chassis of the 8116FL switch, allowing for flexible and scalable network configurations. By adding multiple J8730-61101 modules, administrators can significantly increase the number of available ports, catering to environments with high server density or requiring extensive network segmentation. The module supports full-duplex communication, ensuring efficient data transfer and minimizing the risk of collisions. Its primary function is to serve as a high-density access layer switch or an aggregation point for server connections. The RJ-45 interface is standard for copper Ethernet cabling, offering a widely compatible and cost-effective solution for connecting devices over typical data center distances. The J8730-61101 contributes to building robust and high-performing network architectures by providing essential port connectivity.
