HPE JG197A 24 x Ports 10/100Base-TX Multi-function LAN Interface Network Module for MSR50

Product Description

The HPE JG197A is a versatile network interface module specifically developed for integration into HPE MSR50 series modular routers. This module equips the router with 24 ports that support Fast Ethernet connectivity, operating at speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps over standard twisted-pair copper cabling (10/100Base-TX). Its primary function is to extend the routing capabilities of the MSR50 by providing multiple Ethernet interfaces for connecting to local area networks (LANs) or directly to end-user devices. This module is particularly useful in branch office scenarios where a single router needs to serve multiple departments, provide access for numerous workstations, or connect to different network segments. The high port density of 24 ports allows for significant consolidation of network equipment, reducing the need for separate switches at the network edge. It facilitates the creation of segmented LANs, enhances security policies, and simplifies network management by centralizing connectivity through the MSR50 router. As a multi-function module, the JG197A is designed to seamlessly integrate with the MSR50's operating system and hardware architecture. It enables the router to perform advanced routing functions while simultaneously managing a substantial number of local network connections. This makes it a cost-effective and efficient solution for enterprises looking to deploy robust and scalable network edge infrastructure.
