HPE JH434AR FlexNetwork 10500 12 x Ports 40GBase-X Gigabit Ethernet M2SG Expansion Module

Product Description

The HPE JH434AR FlexNetwork 10500 Series M2SG Expansion Module is a powerful line card designed to significantly enhance the port density and bandwidth capabilities of the HPE FlexNetwork 10500 modular switch chassis. This module is engineered to deliver twelve 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) interfaces, utilizing QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceivers. Its primary purpose is to provide high-speed connectivity for demanding environments such as data centers requiring dense server aggregation, high-performance computing clusters, and the core layers of large enterprise campus networks where substantial bandwidth is essential for traffic aggregation and distribution. The module's twelve 40GbE ports offer a substantial increase in network capacity, allowing for the connection of numerous high-performance servers, storage devices, or other network aggregation points. The use of QSFP+ transceivers provides flexibility in choosing the appropriate optical modules for various distances and fiber types, supporting both short-reach intra-data center links and longer-reach connections. This high port density is critical for consolidating network infrastructure and reducing the physical footprint and power consumption associated with network equipment. As a hot-swappable component within the FlexNetwork 10500 chassis, the JH434AR module ensures continuous network operation during installation, maintenance, or replacement procedures. This feature is vital for maintaining high availability and minimizing downtime in mission-critical network environments. The module integrates seamlessly with the 10500 series' advanced operating system and management features, providing robust performance, scalability, and reliability for the most demanding network infrastructures.
