HPE JG186A Serial Interface Module 16 Ports

SKU CH-20R0-QMRE9

  • 16 WAN ports for multi-line serial connectivity
  • Direct compatibility with MSR20 series routers
  • Direct compatibility with MSR20-1x series routers
  • Direct compatibility with MSR30 series routers
  • Direct compatibility with MSR50 series routers

HPE JG186A Serial Interface Module

This module adds sixteen WAN serial ports to compatible HP MSR routers. It is designed for network administrators who need to connect legacy serial equipment or establish dedicated wide-area links across enterprise sites.

Sustained data networking performance

The module handles continuous wide-area traffic through its sixteen serial interfaces without the bottlenecks seen in single-port expansions. It maintains stable connectivity for persistent sessions such as leased-line circuits, frame-relay clouds or dial-backup chains across the MSR20, MSR20-1x, MSR30 and MSR50 router families.

Sixteen WAN serial ports in one slot

The single-slot form factor delivers exactly 16 serial WAN connections, which is the decisive figure for capacity planning. Buyers who need more than sixteen simultaneous serial circuits or who require Ethernet, fibre or channelised interfaces must look at alternative modules.

Highlights

  • Direct compatibility with MSR20 series routers

Questions about this item

How much heat does the JG186A add when all 16 WAN ports are active all day?

The module is a passive serial interface card with no onboard power supply or fan; heat contribution inside a compatible MSR router is negligible.

Which router chassis must I already own to install this 16-port serial module?

It fits HP MSR20, MSR20-1x, MSR30 or MSR50 series routers that have an available interface-module slot.

Will the JG186A work in an older MSR20-1x router alongside existing WAN cards?

Yes — the module is listed as compatible with the MSR20-1x series and occupies a single interface slot alongside other supported cards.
