BlueLAN HPE R9F83A Compatible SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) - Passive 10 Gigabit Twinaxial Copper - 3m

The BlueLAN HPE R9F83A compatible Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, passive 10 Gigabit Twinaxial Copper cable designed for reliable, low-latency connections in data center environments. With SFP+ connectors on both ends, this 3-meter cable provides a cost-effective solution for interconnecting servers, switches, and storage devices within racks or across adjacent racks.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable offers ultra-low power consumption (<0.1W) and zero latency, making it ideal for high-density, energy-efficient networks. Its 24AWG construction and PVC jacket ensure durability and flexibility for easy cable management. Hot-swappable SFP+ connectors allow for quick deployment and maintenance without network downtime.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (rack-to-rack, server-to-switch, storage-to-switch)
• High-performance computing clusters
• Enterprise network upgrades to 10GbE
• HPE Aruba and other SFP+ compliant devices
