HPE 487655-B21 3M 10GBE Copper Cable

Overview

The HPE 487655-B21 is a 3-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed network connections. It terminates in SFP+ connectors on both ends, enabling 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) communication between servers, switches, or storage devices. This cable is ideal for short-reach, high-bandwidth applications within a rack or between adjacent racks, offering a cost-effective and low-latency alternative to active optical cables or transceivers.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring SFP+ ports that support 10GbE DAC connections. This includes a wide range of HPE ProLiant servers, BladeSystem interconnects, and FlexFabric switches, as well as third-party network devices from vendors like Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and Dell that utilize the SFP+ form factor for 10GbE connectivity.

Installation Notes

Ensure the SFP+ ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before inserting the cable ends. The cable is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be connected or disconnected while devices are powered on without causing disruption. Verify that the connected equipment supports Direct Attach Copper cables for 10GbE speeds.
