HPE JD194-61201 A7500 384Gb/s Rack-mountable Fabric Switch Module

Product Description

The HPE JD194-61201 is a Fabric Switch Module specifically designed for integration into the HPE A7500 series chassis. The A7500 series represents a line of modular, high-performance switches intended for enterprise core and aggregation layers, data centers, and service provider networks. This fabric switch module is a critical component that forms the backbone of the chassis, enabling high-speed communication between other modules and line cards installed within the same system. With a stated fabric capacity of 384 Gb/s, the JD194-61201 module is engineered to handle substantial traffic loads, ensuring that the overall system can support demanding applications and a large number of connected devices. The fabric architecture is designed for high availability, often incorporating redundancy to ensure continuous operation even if one fabric module fails. This makes the A7500 series, and by extension this module, suitable for mission-critical network environments where downtime is unacceptable. As a rack-mountable module, it fits seamlessly into standard data center racks alongside other IT equipment. Its role is to provide the high-speed, low-latency interconnectivity that allows the A7500 chassis to function as a powerful and scalable switching platform. This module is essential for achieving the full performance and reliability potential of the HPE A7500 switching system.
