HPE JD203B 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Module

Detailed Specifications

The HPE JD203B is a high-density expansion module engineered to increase the fiber connectivity options of the HPE 7500 Switch Series. Designed for deployment in the enterprise LAN core, aggregation layer, or data center, this module addresses the need for scalable Gigabit Ethernet SFP-based port density in a modular chassis environment. It allows network architects to efficiently expand their infrastructure while maintaining a streamlined hardware footprint. This module provides 24 wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, offering flexible fiber connectivity for uplinks or high-performance server connections. Its integration into the 7500 series chassis ensures that it benefits from the switch's high-availability features, including a passive backplane and support for redundant management and fabrics. This design delivers reliable, non-blocking performance for mission-critical applications requiring consistent throughput. As a plug-in module, the JD203B simplifies installation and scalability within a compatible HPE 7500 series chassis. Its hot-swappable nature allows for seamless upgrades or replacements without significant network downtime. Management is unified through the chassis's existing interface, enabling network administrators to configure and monitor the additional ports as an integrated part of the core switching platform.
