Description

Add-On JL287A-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On JL287A-AO is a TAA-compliant, 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable. This cable is engineered for high-density, low-latency interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks, commonly found in data centers and enterprise network closets. It provides a cost-effective, power-efficient alternative to active optical cables for short-reach applications, ensuring reliable data transfer for critical network infrastructure. The JL287A-AO model is designed to meet stringent government procurement requirements.

Compatibility

This cable is designed as a compatible alternative for HP (Aruba) JL287A transceivers. It is suitable for connecting network switches, servers, and storage devices that utilize QSFP+ ports operating at 40Gbps. Specific compatibility extends to any network equipment requiring a 40Gbps QSFP+ DAC connection, including many enterprise-grade switches and server network interface cards (NICs) from various manufacturers, provided they adhere to the QSFP+ MSA standard.

Installation Notes

The QSFP+ connectors feature integrated pull-tab latches for secure engagement and easy removal. Ensure the cable is fully seated in the QSFP+ ports on both devices to establish a stable 40Gbps connection. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can impede signal integrity. The cable is rated for operation within standard enterprise temperature ranges.
