HP JC114-61101 9500 Series A9500 4 x 10/100/1000Base-X GE XFP Module

Product Description

The HP JC114-61101 is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet module specifically designed for the HP 9500 Series A9500 modular chassis. This module equips the switch with four 10/100/1000Base-X Gigabit Ethernet ports, utilizing XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceivers. Although XFP is primarily associated with 10Gbps, in this context, it is used for 1Gbps connections, offering a robust and high-density solution for network aggregation and high-speed access. The module's primary purpose is to provide flexible and high-density Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices, while the 1 Gbps capability is essential for high-throughput applications. The use of XFP transceivers allows for various fiber optic connections, enabling administrators to choose the appropriate type and reach for their specific network topology, such as connecting to servers, other switches, or network infrastructure components. This module is a key component for building scalable and high-performance networks within the A9500 platform. It allows the switch to serve effectively as a core or aggregation layer device, handling significant network traffic. The high port density reduces the need for multiple smaller switches, simplifying management and reducing overall infrastructure costs. The JC114-61101 module ensures reliable and efficient data transmission, supporting the demanding requirements of enterprise and service provider environments.
