HPE J2498-65002 800 Series D-Class 155Mb/s ATM HSC Adapter

Product Description

The HPE J2498-65002 is a network adapter that provides high-speed connectivity using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology, part of the 800 Series D-Class family. This adapter is engineered to support data transmission at a rate of 155 Megabits per second (Mb/s), a significant speed for its time, enabling robust performance for data-intensive applications. ATM technology segments data into fixed-size cells, allowing for efficient multiplexing of different traffic types, including voice, video, and data, over a single network infrastructure. Featuring a High-Speed Channel (HSC) interface, this adapter is designed for environments where maximum throughput and low latency are critical. The HSC interface typically provides a wider data bus and higher bandwidth capabilities than standard interfaces, ensuring that the adapter can effectively utilize the full 155Mb/s capacity of the ATM link. This makes it suitable for high-performance servers, routers, or specialized workstations that require direct and rapid connection to ATM networks. This adapter was a key component for organizations leveraging ATM for their backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), or other high-capacity communication links. The J2498-65002 facilitated the integration of computing resources into these advanced networks, supporting applications that demanded high bandwidth and reliable data delivery. As a D-Class product, it signifies a focus on performance and enterprise-grade capabilities within HPE's networking hardware offerings.
