HP JC481-61101 1 x Port OC-48/STM-16 CPOS (OC-3/STM-1) Module

Product Description

The HP JC481-61101 is a specialized network interface module designed for high-capacity telecommunications and data transport applications. It features a single Channelized Packet over SONET/SDH (CPOS) port capable of operating at OC-48/STM-16 speeds, which equates to approximately 2.5 Gbps. This module is particularly versatile as it also supports channelization down to OC-3/STM-1 rates (approximately 155 Mbps), allowing for flexible bandwidth allocation and support for lower-speed tributaries within a higher-speed backbone. This module is intended for use within compatible HP networking platforms, such as high-end routers or carrier-grade switches, where high-density and high-speed interfaces are required. The CPOS functionality enables the aggregation of multiple lower-speed channels (like Ethernet or TDM circuits) into a single high-speed SONET/SDH stream, simplifying network management and reducing the number of physical interfaces needed. It is a key component for service providers and large enterprises managing complex network infrastructures. The HP JC481-61101 facilitates efficient transport of various types of traffic, including voice, data, and video, over SONET/SDH networks. Its ability to handle multiple channelized interfaces makes it suitable for scenarios requiring granular control over bandwidth and connectivity. This module represents a robust solution for building resilient and high-performance backbone networks.
