HP J4887A Hewlett-Packard HP ProCurve networking / enterprise server hardware Datacentre Switch

The HP J4887A is an HP ProCurve Switch 4104GL, a 4-slot modular chassis switch from the GL-series family that accepts a range of copper and fibre line cards to build a switch configuration matched to the site’s actual port requirements. Its smaller 4-slot chassis compared to the 8-slot 8000M sits at the lower end of the GL modular range, suited to smaller wiring closets or comms rooms that still want modular flexibility. This unit is the correct replacement for a failed or end-of-life 4104GL chassis already in service, or for building out a new small modular deployment using existing GL-series line cards. Specifiers should confirm which line cards they intend to install and chassis slot compatibility before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) sources and tests refurbished HP parts like this one to keep GL-series deployments running past end of manufacturer support.
