HPE JC654A 12504 AC Switch Chassis (Refurbished)

The HPE JC654A is a high-capacity, modular Layer 3 routing switch chassis designed to serve as the scalable core for demanding data center and large campus networks. It belongs to the HPE FlexFabric 12500 Switch Series, engineered specifically to provide a resilient and high-performance foundation for mission-critical environments. This chassis addresses the need for a central aggregation point that can expand to meet growing bandwidth and connectivity requirements. At its core, the JC654A utilizes a non-blocking, distributed Clos architecture. This advanced design ensures line-rate performance and low latency across all installed modules, even under heavy traffic loads. This capability is critical for supporting extensive server virtualization, converged infrastructure, and large-scale application deployments without creating network bottlenecks. The chassis is built to deliver predictable, high-speed throughput for both east-west and north-south data center traffic patterns. Physically, this 10U chassis is designed for deployment in standard data center racks, forming the backbone of the network infrastructure. Its architecture is fundamentally built for high availability, featuring full hardware redundancy for power supplies, management modules, and switch fabrics. This ensures that no single point of failure can disrupt network operations, providing the continuous uptime required for business-critical applications and services.

• Modular 4-slot design supports 1G to 100G interfaces.
• Distributed Clos architecture for non-blocking performance.
• Fully redundant, hot-swappable supervisor and fabric.
• Advanced Layer 3 routing with robust IPv4/IPv6 support.
• SDN-ready with native support for the OpenFlow 1.3 standard.
