HPE JC616A 10508/10508-V 720 Gbps Type A Fabric Module

The HPE JC616A is a high-capacity switch fabric module engineered specifically to serve as the central switching plane for the HPE 10508 and 10508-V series modular chassis. This component is fundamental to the chassis's operation, designed for large enterprise campus networks and data center core environments. It addresses the critical need for non-blocking, high-bandwidth communication between the various line cards installed within the chassis, ensuring seamless data flow and preventing internal bottlenecks. At its core, the JC616A provides a substantial switching capacity, facilitating high-speed data transfer across the backplane. By delivering up to 720 Gbps of throughput, this module ensures that the chassis can handle demanding workloads and high-density port configurations without performance degradation. This raw processing power is essential for aggregating traffic from multiple high-speed interfaces and making rapid forwarding decisions, which translates to lower latency and a more responsive network for end-users and applications. Physically, the JC616A is a plug-in module, designed for straightforward installation and hot-swapping within a compatible HPE 10508 series chassis. Its integration is managed through the chassis's central management system, allowing network administrators to monitor its status and performance as part of the unified platform. This modular design provides both scalability and resiliency, allowing for simplified maintenance and hardware upgrades without requiring a complete overhaul of the core network infrastructure.
