HPE 455882-001 Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module

The HPE 455882-001 HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module is a BladeSystem network module designed to provide high-speed 10GbE connectivity and flexible server I/O for HPE blade environments. As part of the Virtual Connect family, it is commonly used to simplify network connections at the enclosure level and support consistent, policy-driven connectivity for blade server deployments.

For end-to-end connectivity planning, this module is often deployed alongside optical components such as TRANSCEIVER options for fiber uplinks, and can complement host-side connectivity where additional NETWORK ADAPTER capacity is required. It also fits well in architectures where upstream WAN/edge integration is handled by an enterprise ROUTER. For more refurbished hardware options across the same vendor ecosystem, see HPE categories.

Key Features

Below are practical, deployment-oriented highlights for the HPE Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module, focusing on enclosure networking, segmentation, and operational control.

• 10Gb Ethernet Virtual Connect Flex-10 module design to deliver high-bandwidth server-to-network connectivity within HPE BladeSystem enclosures.
• Compatible with HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures to support shared, enclosure-level networking for blade infrastructures.
• Designed for use with HPE Virtual Connect-enabled blade setups to help reduce physical cabling complexity compared to per-server uplinks.
• Support for logical network segmentation (VLAN capability typical for this class) to separate production, management, and storage traffic.
• QoS capabilities typical for enterprise Ethernet modules to prioritise latency-sensitive applications such as voice, video, or critical business services.
• Centralised connectivity management model typical of Virtual Connect to simplify MAC/WWN identity handling and streamline server moves/adds/changes.
• Commonly deployed with HPE ProLiant BladeSystem server families (for example BL460c and BL480c generations) to provide consistent 10GbE connectivity across blades.
• Enterprise-grade hardware designed for continuous 24/7 operation to support data centre and private cloud environments.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished networking modules are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of existing BladeSystem environments, control project budgets compared to buying new, and reduce electronic waste.

Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark.
