HP JD221-61101 7500 48 x Ports SFP Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced Network Switch Module

Description

This HP 7500 Series switch module, SKU JD221-61101, is specifically designed to deliver high-density Gigabit Ethernet connectivity through its 48 SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports. This module is intended for deployment within HP's modular 7500 series chassis, serving as a powerful component for the network core or distribution layer where high-speed, fiber-based uplinks and interconnections are paramount. The abundance of SFP ports allows for significant flexibility in network design. Administrators can populate these slots with a variety of SFP transceivers, including those for multimode fiber (for shorter distances) and single-mode fiber (for longer distances), as well as copper SFP modules if needed. This adaptability makes the JD221-61101 suitable for a wide range of applications, from connecting high-performance servers to aggregating traffic from access switches or establishing robust links between network segments. As an enhanced module for the 7500 platform, it is built to support demanding enterprise and data center environments. Its high port count and reliance on SFP technology enable efficient bandwidth utilization and scalability. The module is typically designed for hot-swappable installation, ensuring that network upgrades or replacements can be performed without interrupting ongoing operations, thereby maintaining high availability.
