Detailed Specifications
HPE JG626A FlexFabric 12900 48p 1/10GbE SFP+ Module
Overview
The HPE JG626A is a high-density I/O expansion module engineered for the FlexFabric 12900E series of core data center switches. It provides a robust solution for aggregating numerous 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections, serving as a critical component for building scalable, high-performance network fabrics. This module is designed for large enterprise data centers and cloud service providers that require massive port density and reliable connectivity for server access layers or spine-leaf architectural deployments. At its core, this line card enables the expansion of the FlexFabric chassis with 48 SFP+ ports, each capable of operating at 1GbE or 10GbE speeds. This flexibility allows for a seamless migration from lower-speed connections without requiring a hardware upgrade. The module integrates directly into the switch chassis's high-speed backplane, leveraging the chassis's centralized switching fabric and management to deliver predictable, line-rate performance across all ports for demanding, east-west traffic patterns. Physically, the JG626A installs into any available I/O slot of a compatible FlexFabric 12900E chassis. As a hot-swappable component, it can be deployed or replaced without causing network downtime, enhancing overall system availability. Management is handled centrally through the chassis's operating system and the HPE Intelligent Management Center (IMC) platform, providing a single point of control for configuration, monitoring, and policy enforcement across all installed modules.
