HPE 869232-001 Ethernet 10Gb SFP Expansion Module

Detailed Specifications

The HPE 869232-001 10GbE Pass-Thru Module II is an essential network expansion component designed to optimize connectivity within HPE c-Class BladeSystem environments. This module provides high-speed, non-blocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity, addressing the critical need for robust and scalable network performance in modern data centers. It facilitates a direct, one-to-one connection between individual server blades and the external network, streamlining data flow and reducing potential bottlenecks inherent in shared network fabrics. Engineered for flexibility and efficiency, this pass-thru module supports a variety of connectivity options crucial for diverse infrastructure needs. Its capability to accept both SFP and SFP+ transceivers allows for versatile 1Gb and 10Gb connections on a per-port basis, accommodating both current and future network demands. Furthermore, it supports both optical and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cabling, providing administrators with choices to match their specific reach and cost requirements. This adaptability ensures seamless integration into existing network topologies while offering pathways for future upgrades. Deployment of the 869232-001 is straightforward, designed for seamless integration into HPE BladeSystem enclosures as a plug-in expansion module. It supports standard Ethernet traffic and is also capable of handling Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) traffic to FCoE capable switches, enabling converged networking solutions. This integration simplifies management and reduces the complexity typically associated with managing discrete network components, thereby improving operational efficiency and infrastructure agility within a c-Class BladeSystem.
