HP JC621-61101 10500 16 x SFP 8 x Combo GbE + 2 x XFP 10GbE EA Module

Product Description

The HP JC621-61101 is a sophisticated network interface module engineered for deployment within HP's 10500 series modular switch chassis. This module is designed to significantly enhance the connectivity capabilities of the switch, offering a diverse array of port types to meet varied network demands. It incorporates sixteen SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots, which are standard for Gigabit Ethernet connections and allow for the use of various fiber optic or copper transceivers, providing flexibility in network design and reach. In addition to the SFP ports, the module features eight Combo Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports offer dual connectivity options, supporting either a standard RJ45 copper interface or an SFP transceiver, further increasing the module's adaptability. This combination allows administrators to optimize port usage based on available cabling and performance requirements. The module also includes two XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) ports, which are crucial for high-speed uplinks or connections to other 10GbE-enabled devices, such as servers or core network switches. This module serves as a powerful expansion unit for the HP 10500 series, enabling network managers to build scalable and robust network infrastructures. The combination of 16 GbE SFP ports, 8 GbE Combo ports, and 2 x 10GbE XFP ports provides a total of 26 high-speed network interfaces. This makes the JC621-61101 an ideal choice for enterprise environments requiring high port density and flexible connectivity options at both the access and aggregation layers of the network.
