HP JC495A 6600 2 x Ports OC-3c/STM-1c ATM SFP Router Module

Product Description

The HP JC495A is a specialized network module designed to enhance the capabilities of HP 6600 series modular switches. It introduces two ports that support OC-3c/STM-1c ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) connectivity, leveraging the flexibility of SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers. This allows network administrators to choose the appropriate SFP modules for their specific ATM network requirements, whether for short-reach or long-haul connections. This module is crucial for environments that rely on ATM technology for Wide Area Network (WAN) services or for integrating legacy ATM infrastructure with modern Ethernet networks. The OC-3c/STM-1c designation signifies a data rate of 155.52 Mbps, which was a standard for high-speed telecommunications before the widespread adoption of Gigabit Ethernet. The module's design ensures seamless integration into the HP 6600 chassis, providing a robust and reliable extension of the switch's networking capabilities. With its hot-swappable design, the JC495A can be installed or replaced without the need to power down the entire switch, minimizing network downtime. This feature is essential for maintaining high availability in critical network operations. The HP JC495A module empowers organizations to implement advanced WAN strategies, manage traffic efficiently using ATM's cell-based switching, and ensure reliable connectivity for business-critical applications.
