HP JG740-61001 MSR 4 x RJ-45 GE PoE Switch SIC Network Switch Module

Product Description

The HP JG740-61001 is a specialized network module designed to extend the capabilities of HP Modular Switch Router (MSR) series devices. This module integrates four Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports directly onto the router, transforming it into a more versatile networking appliance capable of handling both routing and local switching tasks. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) on all four ports significantly simplifies the deployment of network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras, as it eliminates the need for separate power adapters and cabling. As a Single Interface Card (SIC), the JG740-61001 is designed for easy installation into compatible MSR router chassis, allowing for quick upgrades or additions of switching functionality. This modular approach ensures that network infrastructure can be tailored to specific requirements and scaled efficiently over time. The Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high-speed connectivity, essential for bandwidth-intensive applications and modern network environments. This module is particularly useful for branch offices or converged network deployments where a single device needs to provide both routing between networks and local switching for end devices. By consolidating these functions, it reduces hardware complexity, power consumption, and management overhead. The HP JG740-61001 empowers network administrators to create more integrated and cost-effective network solutions.
