HPE JG422A

Overview

The HPE JG422A is an 8-port Gigabit HMIM module designed to expand the connectivity of selected HPE MSR routers by adding eight additional RJ-45 ports. These ports automatically negotiate speeds of 10, 100, or 1000 Mb/s, allowing you to connect more devices such as servers, workstations, printers, or access points directly within the router chassis. This integration reduces the need for extra switches, helping maintain a clean rack setup and simplified cabling.

By linking directly to the router’s forwarding engine, the module ensures low-latency traffic flow while supporting encryption and decryption to secure site-to-site VPNs and sensitive data transmissions. It operates under the same Comware software as the router, enabling centralized management of VLANs, quality-of-service, and security policies without juggling multiple devices.

Its compact size of 8.27 by 9.44 by 0.78 inches and light weight of 1.65 pounds make it easy to install and service, especially in environments with limited space and budget constraints such as branch offices, retail stores, or kiosks. Once installed, it quietly expands network capacity and enhances security while reducing hardware complexity.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
