HP J4878A Hewlett-Packard HP ProCurve networking / enterprise server hardware Switch / Carrier Ethernet Line Card

The HP J4878A is a ProCurve Switch XL 4-port SFP Mini-GBIC module (also referenced under the related part number J4878BA), a fibre expansion module for HP’s ProCurve Switch XL modular chassis family, adding four Gigabit mini-GBIC slots to an existing XL chassis. It is fitted where an XL chassis deployment needs fibre uplinks or fibre-connected access ports, with the mini-GBIC slots accepting the SX, LX or other transceivers appropriate to the fibre run in use. The XL chassis platform remains in service in a number of longer-established enterprise deployments. Genuine expansion modules of this kind are routinely needed when adding fibre capacity to an existing XL chassis or replacing a faulty module. Specifiers should confirm XL chassis compatibility and required transceiver types before ordering, as the module ships without mini-GBICs fitted. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks HP ProCurve components to support ongoing network maintenance projects. Please contact our sales team for current stock and pricing.
