HPE 854194‑B21 10Gb Ethernet Pass‑Thru Module II for c‑Class BladeSystem
Overview
The HPE 854194‑B21 is a pass‑thru network module for HPE BladeSystem c‑Class enclosures. It provides 16 SFP / SFP+ ports and delivers direct, low‑latency 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity from individual blades to the external network. This module does not perform switching; instead, it transparently passes traffic, making it ideal for applications requiring predictable throughput or where blade I/O segregation is needed. It’s unmanaged, eliminating the overhead of layer‑2 switching logic, and compatible with both 1 Gb and 10 Gb optics per port.
