HP JD360B 2-port 10GbE A5500 local connection module

HP JD360B 2-port 10GbE module

The HP JD360B is a two-port 10GbE local connection module designed for the A5500 switch series. It adds high-speed uplinks or stacking links to compatible HP networking infrastructure. Network administrators expanding campus or data-centre fabrics use this module to increase aggregated bandwidth between switches. The unit ships as a single connection module ready for installation.

Upgrades from lower-speed uplinks

This module replaces slower uplink modules when 10 Gbps per port is required for storage, virtualization or backbone traffic. The jump is worth it when existing 1 GbE links saturate during peak loads or when new servers demand 10 GbE connectivity. It does not suit builds needing more than two ports per slot or compatibility with non-A5500 chassis.
