HPE R0Z25A 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 1m DAC Cable
Overview
The HPE R0Z25A is a 1-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-density, high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) network connections. It terminates in QSFP28 connectors on both ends, making it ideal for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers, high-performance computing clusters, or enterprise network core deployments. This cable provides a cost-effective, low-power alternative to active optical modules for distances up to 1 meter, ensuring reliable data transmission without signal degradation.
Compatibility
This 100GbE QSFP28 DAC cable is engineered to be compatible with HPE Aruba networking equipment that features QSFP28 ports. It is suitable for use with HPE Aruba CX switches and other network devices requiring 100GbE connectivity via QSFP28 interfaces. Always verify your specific HPE Aruba switch model supports 100GbE QSFP28 transceivers and DAC breakout configurations.
Installation Notes
Ensure the QSFP28 ports on both the source and destination devices are clean before inserting the cable. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Apply firm, even pressure when seating the connectors into the ports until they click into place. The cable requires no configuration; it is a plug-and-play solution. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to maintain signal integrity.
