Description

HPE JH234A 1m QSFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable

Overview

The HPE JH234A is a 1-meter direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connections. It features QSFP+ connectors on both ends, providing a passive, low-latency link suitable for short-reach interconnects between network devices like switches, routers, and servers within a rack or between adjacent racks. This cable simplifies network infrastructure by eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling for these short distances, reducing cost and power consumption.

Compatibility

This 1m QSFP+ to QSFP+ DAC cable is engineered for compatibility with HPE networking equipment and other vendors utilizing the QSFP+ interface for 40GbE connectivity. It is suitable for connecting HPE FlexNetwork switches, Aruba switches, and servers equipped with QSFP+ ports. Verify your specific network device's QSFP+ port specifications for direct attach copper support.

Installation Notes

The QSFP+ connectors are designed for plug-and-play installation. Ensure the connectors are fully seated into the QSFP+ ports on your network devices until the release mechanism clicks into place. The cable is passive, meaning it does not require external power. Avoid sharp bends or kinks to maintain signal integrity.
