HPE JD229-61201 48 x PoE+ Ports 1000Base-T SD Extended Module for FlexNetwork 7500 Series Switches

Product Description

The HPE JD229-61201 represents a significant expansion for the HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Series Switches, offering a substantial increase in port density and advanced Power over Ethernet capabilities. This module is equipped with 48 individual ports, each capable of operating at Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000Base-T). This high port count makes it ideal for environments requiring numerous wired connections, such as large office deployments, campus networks, or data center aggregation points where a high density of endpoints needs to be supported. A key feature of the JD229-61201 is its integrated support for Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). This functionality allows the module to not only provide network connectivity but also deliver electrical power to connected devices over the same Ethernet cable. PoE+ offers a higher power budget per port compared to standard PoE, enabling the support of more power-hungry devices such as high-performance wireless access points, pan-tilt-zoom security cameras, and advanced IP phones. This simplifies network infrastructure by reducing the need for separate power outlets and power adapters for each device. Designed specifically as an extended module for the HPE FlexNetwork 7500 Series, the JD229-61201 integrates seamlessly into the chassis, leveraging the switch's core capabilities while adding its own extensive port resources. This modular approach allows organizations to customize their network infrastructure based on specific needs, scaling port count and functionality as required. The module contributes to the overall performance and efficiency of the network, providing reliable Gigabit connectivity and intelligent power management for a wide range of connected devices.
