HPE JC129A 

8800 1‑Port 10 GbE XFP Expansion Module

The HPE JC129A is a single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP Expansion Module designed for the HPE 8800 Series router chassis (e.g., models 8802, 8805, 8808, 8812). This compact hot-pluggable module enables high-speed WAN or LAN uplink connectivityusing standard 10GBase-X SFP or XFP transceiver modules. With support for 10 Gbps data rates, the JC129A enables bandwidth-intensive routing, firewall throughput, or network edge deployments requiring scalable throughput. Its compatibility ensures seamless integration into existing HPE assets while maintaining optimal module footprint efficiency.

Features

Operating as a dedicated Expansion Module in the HPE 8800 router family, JC129A installs into a modular chassis slot to provide a single 10GBase-X interface. It supports a broad range of optical or copper XFP/SFP+ transceivers (10GBase-SR/LR/ER/etc.), enabling flexible interconnects for short-range data center links or long-distance deployments. As part of the original HP router-based architecture, the module utilizes in-chassis backplane interfaces and high-performance forwarding paths, supporting transparent data throughput up to 10 Gbps with minimal added latency. QoS features supported at the module level allow priority handling of traffic from connected WAN uplinks or switch-level aggregation. Hot-swappable and fully compliant with industry standards, JC129A integrates with HP Network OS-based firmware environments, enabling straightforward provisioning and diagnostics through CLI or SNMP.

Advanced Options

The JC129A module delivers enterprise-grade reliability by inheriting chassis-level serviceability and redundant power infrastructure of the HPE 8800 router series. The XFP port supports broad optical interoperability, enabling ruggedized fiber links up to 40 km (with appropriate optics) or short-range multimode connections for data center interconnects.
