HP JC718-61101 A7500 16 x 1GbE + 8 x SFP SD TAA Combo Switch Module

Product Description

The HP JC718-61101 is a high-performance switch module designed for the HP A7500 series modular chassis. This specific module offers a versatile combination of 16 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) RJ45 ports for standard copper connections and 8 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots that can accommodate various fiber optic or copper transceivers. This 'combo' design provides significant flexibility, allowing network administrators to tailor connectivity to specific needs, whether for high-speed server connections, uplinks, or connecting to different network segments. This module is particularly valuable for enterprise networks requiring high port density and the ability to support both copper and fiber optic cabling. The 1GbE ports are ideal for connecting end-user devices, workstations, and servers that require Gigabit speeds. The SFP slots offer adaptability, allowing the use of different types of transceivers (e.g., short-range, long-range, multimode, single-mode fiber) to meet diverse network topology requirements and distances. The module also carries TAA compliance, making it suitable for government and certain regulated environments. As part of the A7500 series, the JC718-61101 integrates seamlessly into the modular chassis, contributing to a scalable and robust network infrastructure. It supports advanced switching features and high throughput, ensuring efficient data flow and reliable network performance. This module is a key component for building flexible, high-capacity enterprise networks that can adapt to evolving connectivity demands.
