HP R0X40BR 48 x 1GbE Class 6 PoE + 4 x SFP56 Switch Module

Product Description

The HP R0X40BR is a high-performance switch module designed to integrate into HP's modular networking solutions, likely within ProLiant server chassis or dedicated modular switch platforms. It offers a substantial density of 48 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) ports, each capable of delivering Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) with Class 6 power budgets. This makes it suitable for powering a wide array of network devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, and IoT devices directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying deployment and reducing cabling clutter. Complementing the extensive copper port count are four SFP56 ports. SFP56 is an enhanced standard that supports higher speeds, typically up to 50Gbps, over a single lane, often backward compatible with SFP+ (10Gbps) and SFP (1Gbps). These ports are crucial for high-bandwidth uplinks to core network switches, connections to servers requiring high throughput, or for creating resilient and high-capacity switch stacks. The module's design emphasizes flexibility and scalability within the HP ecosystem. This switch module is engineered for enterprise-level networking, providing the necessary features for robust network management, security, and performance. It likely supports advanced functionalities such as Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization, Virtual LANs (VLANs) for network segmentation, and potentially Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for increased bandwidth and redundancy. The R0X40BR is a key component for building scalable and feature-rich network infrastructures in data centers and large enterprise environments.
