What ports does the HP ProCurve 10G Switch Module 2900 include?

It features two CX4 10-GbE ports (IEEE 802.3ak Type 10Gbase-CX4, full duplex) and two open X2 transceiver slots for flexible 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. These support stacking and uplinks in ProCurve 2900-24G/48G switches with latency under 2.1 µs for 64-byte packets.

Is this module compatible with HP ProCurve 2900 series?

Yes, the SKU 5070-4320 is a blade module designed specifically for ProCurve 2900 switches like 2900-24G (J9049A) and 2900-48G (J9050A). It integrates via the chassis slot for native 10G expansion, leveraging the switch's 105.6 Gbps fabric.

What is the form factor of this product?

It is a switch module in blade form factor, fitting directly into the ProCurve 2900 series chassis. This compact design supports 1U rack mounting through the host switch, with no additional power or cooling requirements.

What performance specs does it deliver?

Provides 10G Ethernet with <2.1 µs latency (FIFO 64-byte packets) and contributes to up to 75.7 Mpps throughput and 105.6 Gbps switching capacity in 2900 configurations. Ensures line-rate performance for high-density enterprise use.

Can it be used for switch stacking?

Yes, the two CX4 and two X2 10GbE ports enable easy stacking of multiple 2900 series switches, creating a high-speed fabric without external modules. This simplifies deployment and scales bandwidth to meet growing demands.

What standards does it support?

Compliant with IEEE 802.3ak for CX4 10Gbase-CX4 and X2 transceivers supporting various optics. Features full-duplex operation, Auto-MDIX compatibility, and integration with ProCurve management tools like CLI and SNMP.
