HPE Q9N59A E-t-a 6111 2X2.3M Proliant 48VDC Cables

HPE Q9N59A E-t-a 6111 2x2.3M ProLiant 48VDC Power Cables

Overview

The HPE Q9N59A delivers a matched pair of 2.3-meter 48VDC power cables engineered for HPE ProLiant server infrastructure using the E-t-a 6111 power distribution architecture. When your ProLiant deployment relies on 48VDC bulk power distribution — common in high-density rack configurations — using the OEM-matched cable eliminates guesswork around connector compatibility, conductor gauge, and rated voltage. Manufactured in Germany and sourced through HPE's distribution channel, the Q9N59A is a factory-new, genuine component: no grey-market substitutes, no parallel imports.

The 2.3-meter run length (per cable, two included) suits standard 2-post and 4-post rack deployments where the power distribution unit sits at or near the bottom of the rack and servers are distributed across mid and upper rack positions. Having two cables in a single kit matters in redundant-PSU configurations — both power feeds can be dressed and run simultaneously without a separate order.

Key Features

• 48VDC Rated: matched to the E-t-a 6111 distribution spec — do not substitute lower-rated cables in 48V architectures where voltage tolerance is tighter than AC environments.
• 2x2.3M kit: two cables per order, each 2.3 meters, covers dual-feed ProLiant PSU configurations in a single purchase without a separate accessory order.
• Germany-manufactured (UNSPSC 43211600): classified under IT cables and connectors; German production aligns with HPE's quality sourcing for data center power components.
• Genuine HPE component: OEM connector terminations and conductor spec — third-party substitutes risk contact resistance issues at 48VDC under sustained server load.

Integration & Compatibility

The Q9N59A is designed for HPE ProLiant servers and chassis systems paired with E-t-a 6111 48VDC power distribution units. Verify your specific ProLiant model's power distribution bill of materials before ordering — 48VDC deployments vary by chassis generation. If your rack uses standard AC/PoE power paths, this cable set is not applicable. Consult HPE's server infrastructure accessories or your power distribution catalog for AC-based ProLiant power options.

For broader HPE infrastructure solutions including compute, storage, and networking, the full HPE line covers most data center power and connectivity needs. If you are building out a complete rack, review rack accessories and cable management options to route and dress these 2.3M runs cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Q9N59A cable length and quantity?

A: The Q9N59A includes two cables, each 2.3 meters in length, for a total of two 48VDC power cable runs per kit.

Q: Which HPE power distribution unit does the Q9N59A work with?

A: The Q9N59A is specified for use with the E-t-a 6111 48VDC power distribution architecture in HPE ProLiant environments. Confirm compatibility with your specific chassis generation via HPE's QuickSpecs for your ProLiant model.

Q: Where is the HPE Q9N59A manufactured?

A: The Q9N59A is manufactured in Germany (Country of Origin: DE).

Q: Can the Q9N59A be used with non-HPE 48VDC power distribution units?

A: The Q9N59A is an HPE OEM cable designed for the E-t-a 6111 architecture. Use with non-HPE PDUs is not verified by available evidence — connector and pin compatibility must be confirmed before substitution in third-party deployments.

Marty Allison

The HPE Q9N59A is a deliberately narrow-scope component: two 2.3-meter cables, 48VDC rated, for the E-t-a 6111 power distribution architecture in ProLiant racks. If that sentence describes exactly what you are building, this is the correct part — no improvisation needed on cable gauge or termination spec.

Technical Highlights:

• 2x2.3M per kit: two cables per order means a dual-feed redundant PSU installation in a ProLiant chassis can be completed in a single line item — no split orders across multiple SKUs.
• 48VDC architecture: 48VDC bulk power distribution in high-density ProLiant environments operates at tighter voltage tolerances than AC — OEM-spec conductors and terminations matter more here than in standard AC cable runs.
• Germany-manufactured (DE): HPE sources this component from German manufacturing, consistent with quality expectations for data center power infrastructure in enterprise deployments.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your ProLiant chassis generation is listed as compatible with the E-t-a 6111 PDU before ordering — HPE ProLiant power architectures vary across generations, and the 48VDC path is not universal across the portfolio.
• The 2.3-meter run suits mid-to-upper rack server positions from a bottom-mounted PDU; if your PDU is top-mounted or your rack depth exceeds standard 1000mm, measure the actual routed cable path before assuming 2.3M is sufficient.

The Q9N59A is the right call for purpose-built 48VDC ProLiant rack deployments using E-t-a 6111 distribution — specifically in high-density data center rows where every cable is pre-specced to the PDU architecture and OEM provenance of each component is documented for compliance audits.
