HPE JD261AR S1000-S/A 2 x Ports 1000Base-X Expansion Module

Product Description

The HPE JD261AR is an S1000-S/A Expansion Module designed to integrate high-speed fiber optic connectivity into compatible HPE FlexNetwork switches. This module offers two 1000Base-X ports, which utilize SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers. This flexibility allows administrators to choose the appropriate SFP modules for specific fiber types (e.g., multimode or single-mode) and desired transmission distances, making it suitable for a wide range of network topologies. Operating at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, the JD261AR module ensures high-performance data transfer, essential for backbone connections, inter-switch links, or connecting to high-bandwidth devices. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to provide reliable connectivity over longer distances than standard copper Ethernet, and its immunity to electromagnetic interference makes it ideal for challenging industrial or campus environments. As a hot-swappable module, the HPE JD261AR can be installed or removed from a powered-on switch without causing service interruptions. This feature is critical for maintaining network availability and simplifying maintenance or upgrade procedures. The module enhances the versatility of HPE FlexNetwork switches, enabling them to serve as robust aggregation or core devices in diverse network infrastructures.
