HP JH181A 5930 24-port SFP+ and 2-port QSFP+ with MACsec Module

Description

The HP JH181A is a high-density expansion module designed for the HP 5930 Switch Series, significantly increasing the switch's capacity for high-speed network connections. This module features 24 ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet via SFP+ transceivers, making it ideal for connecting a large number of servers, storage devices, or other network endpoints that require 10GbE fiber connectivity. The SFP+ interface offers flexibility in choosing the appropriate transceiver type based on distance and fiber requirements. Complementing the SFP+ ports, the JH181A module includes two 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports. These ports are designed for high-bandwidth uplinks to aggregation or core switches, or for high-speed interconnects in data center environments. The inclusion of MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) encryption on all ports provides hardware-level security, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity between connected devices, which is critical for compliance and security-sensitive networks. As a hot-swappable module, the JH181A can be installed or removed from the 5930 chassis without interrupting network operations, ensuring high availability and simplifying maintenance. Its integration allows for unified management within the HP 5930 Switch Series, providing a scalable, high-performance, and secure solution for modern enterprise and data center networks.
