Key Specifications

Overview

The Aruba HPE 10G SFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable provides a cost-efficient and high-performance solution for short-distance connectivity in enterprise network environments. It is engineered with a 1 meter twinaxial cable featuring SFP+ connectors on both ends to seamlessly connect switches, routers, and compatible networking hardware. This cable is designed to meet the rigorous electrical and mechanical standards required for high-speed data transfer with minimal signal loss.

Performance and Compatibility

This passive twinaxial DAC cable supports data transfer rates up to 10.5Gbps, making it ideal for 10G Ethernet, 8G Fibre Channel, and 10G FCoE applications typical in data center and storage networks. Its plug-and-play SFP+ connectors are optimized for compatibility with a broad range of HPE Aruba 10G switches, routers, and network adapters, ensuring quick deployment and scalability within heterogeneous network environments.

Design and Engineering

Constructed with a round twinax copper cable structure, the J9281D maintains signal integrity and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) through its Improved Pluggable Form Factor (IPF), enhancing EMI/EMC compliance. The cable's impedance is precisely matched at 100 ohms, which minimizes transmission reflections and optimizes performance. Additionally, the cable supports a minimal bend radius of 25 mm to preserve cable performance without damage during installation or operation.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance

The cable operates reliably within a temperature range from 0°C to 70°C, suitable for typical data center conditions, and can be stored safely between -40°C and 85°C. It is RoHS compliant and lead-free, demonstrating adherence to environmental safety directives, and meets standards such as SFF-8472, SFF-8431, IEC/EN 61000-4-2, and MIL-STD-883E for electromagnetic compatibility and component robustness.

Use Cases and Benefits

Ideal for high-density data center environments, the J9281D simplifies cabling infrastructure by eliminating the need for additional optical transceivers in short-reach applications. Its passive operation reduces power consumption and heat generation. The black, professional-grade cable supports high-speed interconnects between switches and network devices, enhancing network efficiency and operational reliability while reducing overall deployment costs.

Integration and Deployment

Designed specifically for Aruba and HPE network equipment, this DAC cable integrates smoothly into existing network architectures without the need for additional adapters or converters. Its durable construction and standardized form factor facilitate straightforward installation and maintenance, optimizing uptime and network management workflows across enterprise and data center networks.

The Aruba HPE 10G SFP+ to SFP+ DAC Cable (J9281D) ensures high-speed, cost-effective connectivity for data centers and network infrastructures requiring reliable short-range interconnects.
