Add-On JL273A-AO 40Gbps QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The Add-On JL273A-AO is a TAA-compliant, 40Gbps direct attach copper cable designed for high-density, short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. It provides a cost-effective solution for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices where high bandwidth is critical. This cable directly addresses the need for reliable, high-speed data transfer in enterprise data centers and network closets without the complexity or cost of fiber optics for short distances. The JL273A-AO model ensures compatibility with HP networking equipment and meets TAA requirements for government procurement.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered to be compatible with HP 40GbE QSFP28 ports. It functions as a direct replacement for HP's JL273A, ensuring seamless integration with HP switches, servers, and network interface cards supporting QSFP28 transceivers. It is suitable for use in any environment requiring a QSFP28 to QSFP28 connection, including but not limited to HP FlexFabric, Aruba, and ProLiant systems.
Installation Notes
The QSFP28 connectors feature integrated pull-tab latches for secure engagement and easy removal. Ensure the connectors are fully seated in the QSFP28 ports to establish a stable 40Gbps link. The cable's passive design requires no power source. Maximum supported link length is typically 5 meters, suitable for in-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity.
