HP Inc C20MQAA HP ZGX 0.4m QSFP112 Ethernet DAC Cable

Overview

The HP Inc C20MQAA is a 0.4-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed network connections within server racks or between adjacent racks. It utilizes QSFP112 connectors, enabling 400GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) speeds, which is critical for data-intensive applications like large-scale surveillance video aggregation, high-performance computing clusters, or demanding data center interconnects. This cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency, and power-efficient alternative to active optical cables for short-reach applications. The C20MQAA model ensures reliable signal integrity for demanding enterprise deployments.

Compatibility

This QSFP112 DAC cable is designed for use with HP Inc networking equipment and servers that feature QSFP112 ports. It is suitable for direct connection to network switches, NICs (Network Interface Cards), or server backplanes requiring 400GbE connectivity. Always verify your specific network hardware's QSFP112 port compatibility.

Installation Notes

The HP ZGX C20MQAA cable measures 9.00 x 7.00 x 2.00 inches (L x W x H) with a net weight of 0.45 lb. The cable itself is 0.4 meters long. Ensure sufficient clearance within the rack for the cable bend radius and connector insertion. The QSFP112 connectors are hot-pluggable, allowing for installation or removal without powering down the connected devices, provided the equipment supports this feature.
