IBM 13N2285 4x Ports Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module

Product Description

The IBM 13N2285 is a network interface module that provides four ports of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This module is designed to be integrated into compatible IBM systems or network infrastructure, offering a straightforward way to add or expand high-speed network capabilities. Each of the four ports supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, allowing for data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbps, which is significantly faster than standard Fast Ethernet. This module is ideal for environments that require robust and high-performance network connections. It can be used to connect servers, workstations, or other network devices to a local area network (LAN) or to provide uplink connections to higher-speed network segments. The inclusion of four ports offers flexibility for connecting multiple devices or for creating redundant network paths. As a component designed by IBM, the 13N2285 is expected to meet the reliability and performance standards required for enterprise environments. Its module form factor suggests it is intended for installation within specific IBM chassis or enclosures, providing a clean and integrated networking solution. This makes it a valuable addition for organizations looking to enhance their network infrastructure with reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
