Description

StarTech J9285BST 7m Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The StarTech J9285BST is a 7-meter passive twinax direct attach cable, engineered to provide a cost-effective, high-performance interconnect for SFP+ enabled network devices. This cable is designed to meet the demands of high-density data center environments and enterprise networks requiring reliable 10 Gbps connectivity over short to medium distances. Its passive design means it requires no external power, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure. The J9285BST model offers a direct replacement for HPE J9285B, ensuring compatibility with HPE switches and other SFP+ equipment.

Compatibility

This 7m SFP+ direct attach cable is designed for seamless integration with any network device featuring SFP+ ports. It is 100% HPE J9285B compatible, making it suitable for use with HPE ProCurve and Aruba switches. It also functions with other brands of network equipment that support the SFP+ interface, providing 10 Gbps connectivity between servers, switches, and storage devices.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F) ambient temperature range. It draws less than 0.1W per end, simplifying power planning for your switch infrastructure. The 24 AWG wire gauge ensures signal integrity for the 10 Gbps data rate over its 7-meter length. Connectors are standard SFP+ form factor.
