HP R0X42-61101 6400 24x 10GBase-T 4x SFP56 RJ-45 Expansion Module

Product Description

The HP R0X42-61101 is a high-performance expansion module designed to significantly enhance the network capabilities of HP ProLiant DL580 Gen9 servers. This module provides a substantial number of high-speed Ethernet ports, including twenty-four 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports for standard copper Ethernet connections, and four SFP56 ports for flexible fiber optic or higher-speed connections. Its integration allows these powerful servers to connect to modern high-speed networks, supporting demanding workloads and large data transfers. The inclusion of 10GBASE-T ports ensures broad compatibility with existing network infrastructure while offering a significant performance upgrade over Gigabit Ethernet. The four SFP56 ports provide additional flexibility, supporting various transceiver types for different network topologies and distances, and potentially enabling future upgrades to higher speeds. This combination of port types makes the module highly versatile for diverse datacenter environments. As an expansion module for the ProLiant DL580 Gen9, the R0X42-61101 is designed for seamless integration, allowing administrators to easily add extensive network connectivity without occupying additional PCIe slots. This is crucial for maximizing the server's internal expansion capabilities for other components like storage or accelerators. The module is essential for environments requiring robust, high-bandwidth networking for applications such as virtualization, big data analytics, and high-performance computing.
