HPE 8-Port 1000BASE-X HMIM Module

The HPE JG425A is an 8-port 1000BASE-X HMIM Module that equips selected HPE MSR routers with eight fixed Gigabit SFP ports. It is the straightforward way to add high-speed fiber links where copper cabling cannot keep up.

Because each port accepts a standard SFP transceiver, you can choose the optic that matches your distance and media requirements, from short runs inside a data closet to single-mode links that connect buildings across a campus. The module keeps all eight ports under the same router operating system you already know, so configuration, monitoring, and security policies stay consistent.

Installation is quick: slide the module into the router's HMIM slot, fasten the screws, and bring the router back online. The compact housing measures 8.27 by 9.44 by 0.78 inches and weighs only 1.76 pounds, which means you gain bandwidth without rearranging rack space or adding bulk.

Common deployments include branch offices that rely on fiber circuits, campuses that aggregate multiple access switches, and midsize data centers looking for simple yet reliable Gigabit uplinks. Wherever it is installed, the module provides the capacity and flexibility needed to handle growing application demands.
