HPE JD368B H3C LSPM2SP2P 2x 10GB SFP+ Switch Module

Overview

The HPE JD368B is a two-port 10 Gigabit SFP+ switch module designed to expand the bandwidth capacity of HPE 5500, 5120, and 5830 Series switches. It provides dedicated 10 Gbps uplinks that help alleviate network bottlenecks, making it suitable for data-intensive environments such as virtualization clusters, storage replication, and high-definition multimedia distribution. The module supports VLAN segmentation, Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritization, and IPv6, ensuring compatibility with modern enterprise network requirements.

Installation is simple, as the module fits into the appropriate expansion slot and accepts standard SFP+ transceivers, allowing flexible integration with existing fiber or copper infrastructure. Its compact size and lightweight design make it practical for use in data centers, branch offices, and campus networks where space and resources may be limited.
