HPE 2-Port 10GbE SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) 0.65m for A5500/E4800/E45

The HPE 2-Port 10GbE SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, passive copper twinax cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in HPE networking environments. This 0.65-meter cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for short-range interconnects between switches, servers, and storage devices within racks or adjacent cabinets.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing cost and power consumption while ensuring seamless integration with HPE switches. Its hot-swappable SFP+ connectors enable quick deployment and maintenance without network downtime. The 30 AWG construction and PVC jacket offer flexibility and durability for dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (server-to-switch, switch-to-switch)
• HPE FlexFabric 5700, 5900, 5920, 5930, 5940, 5950, 5980, 7900, 10500, 11900, 12500, 12900 series switches
