HPE 861413-B21 Network Cable
Overview
The HPE 861413-B21 is a 10-foot Category 6a network cable designed to provide reliable data transmission for network devices. This cable utilizes shielded twisted pair construction with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure and stable connection for critical infrastructure components. Its specific application is to link HPE Synergy Frame Link Modules, facilitating essential communication within the HPE Synergy platform. Deploying the correct cable type is crucial for maintaining network integrity and performance, especially in data center environments where signal integrity is paramount.
Compatibility
This cable is specifically engineered and validated for use with the HPE Synergy Frame Link Module. It ensures proper connectivity and performance within the HPE Synergy compute infrastructure. While it uses standard RJ-45 connectors, its primary intended use is within this specific HPE ecosystem to guarantee interoperability and support the required data rates for the frame link module's function.
Installation Notes
Category 6a cables support data rates up to 10 Gbps and are designed for frequencies up to 500 MHz, offering superior performance over Cat5e. For optimal performance and to maintain the cable's specifications, avoid sharp bends exceeding its minimum bend radius (typically 4 times the cable diameter) and ensure connectors are securely seated. The 10-foot (approx. 3-meter) length provides flexibility for rack and cabinet installations without excessive cable slack, which can impede airflow and complicate management.
