The HPE JG898A is a FlexFabric 5700 32XGT 8XG 2QSFP+ switch, a top-of-rack data centre platform built around copper 10GBASE-T connectivity. With 32 10GBASE-T ports, eight SFP+ ports, and two QSFP+ uplink ports, the JG898A gives infrastructure teams a rare combination: dense 10GbE server access over standard copper cabling, fibre-flexible SFP+ capacity, and 40GbE-class uplinks towards the aggregation layer, all in one low-latency unit.
The copper-first design is the JG898A’s practical advantage. Racks of servers with built-in 10GBASE-T adapters connect using cost-effective Cat6a patch leads, avoiding the per-port expense of DAC cables or optics, while the eight SFP+ ports handle fibre runs, storage connections, or links to SFP-based infrastructure. The two QSFP+ ports then carry aggregated traffic upstream at 40GbE, keeping the rack’s uplinks clean and simple.
As part of the FlexFabric family, the HPE JG898A runs Comware and supports HPE’s IRF resiliency technology, so pairs of switches operate as one logical device for straightforward server dual-homing and rapid failover. It suits virtualisation clusters, backup infrastructure, iSCSI storage networks over copper, and enterprises upgrading Gigabit server access to 10GbE without re-cabling entire racks.
Euroland IT Store, a trusted UK supplier of data centre and HPE networking hardware, stocks the HPE JG898A in new and refurbished condition, with refurbished switches tested before dispatch. As a mature FlexFabric platform, the JG898A now offers outstanding price-per-port for 10GBASE-T density on the secondary market. Request a quote for single units, IRF pairs, or full rack builds with QSFP+ cables and SFP+ optics supplied from the same stock.
The HPE JG898A cuts the cost of 10GbE where it matters most: cabling and optics. Copper 10GBASE-T means racks connect with inexpensive Cat6a leads rather than DAC cables or transceiver pairs, a saving that multiplies across every server port. For teams upgrading Gigabit racks whose servers already carry 10GBASE-T LOM ports, the switch upgrade alone unlocks a tenfold bandwidth increase.
Its mixed port profile keeps designs flexible: SFP+ capacity for storage and fibre runs, QSFP+ uplinks for clean aggregation, and IRF pairing for resilience without protocol complexity. Uplinks are typically built with the HPE JG326-61101 X240 40G QSFP+ 1m DAC Cable, while hosts connect to the SFP+ ports through adapters such as the HPE P28787-B21 X710 10Gb SFP+ Adapter. That versatility lets one platform cover virtualisation, backup, and storage duties that might otherwise demand multiple switch types.
Refurbished JG898A stock from Euroland IT Store is tested before dispatch and priced at a fraction of original list, making IRF pairs and multi-rack rollouts affordable on mainstream budgets. New-condition units are available where required, and with networking cables, optics, and adapters quoted alongside, the complete rack arrives as one order from one UK supplier.
