Detailed Specifications
HPE JC129A 10 Gb Ethernet XFP Expansion Module
Overview
The HPE JC129A is a plug-in expansion module designed for HPE router and switch chassis platforms (such as the 8800 series) to provide a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP interface. This enables a high-speed uplink or module slot upgrade in network edge or core routing platforms needing fibre-based 10 Gb connectivity. The module supports 10GBase-X standards and is backward compatible at lower speeds where supported by the chassis. It is well suited for carrier-class routers in data-centres, campus cores or WAN aggregation points, and integrates directly into the modular chassis architecture of HPE networking systems under the HPE/Aruba infrastructure.
Key Features
One 10 Gb/s XFP port for fibre-optic 10GBase-X connectivity
Modular slot form-factor compatible with HPE 8800 series chassis
Supports full line-rate 10G Ethernet throughput for upgrades
Backward compatible with 10/1 Gb speeds when chassis allows
