Description

The JF281A is a Smart Interface Card (SIC) module for the HPE FlexNetwork MSR router range. It adds 8 asynchronous RS-232 serial ports to a router SIC slot, making it suited to serial console aggregation and legacy serial device connectivity at branch offices and enterprise edge sites.

This 8-port Async Serial SIC provides 8 x asynchronous serial (RS-232) ports and uses the serial networking protocol. It is the 8-port option, as opposed to the 16-port Async Serial SIC module. The module requires one 8AS communication cable to connect to the serial devices, and it draws its power from the host MSR router chassis through the SIC slot, so no separate power supply is needed.

It is listed as a SIC module option for MSR1000, MSR2000 and MSR30 series routers, and in the MSR3000 module lists. Check the QuickSpecs for your specific router to confirm slot support and software version.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.
