Network Cable Hewlett Packard Enterprise X240 10G SFP+ SFP+ 3m DA Ca Black

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise X240 10G SFP+ SFP+ 3m DA Cable Black (MPN: JD097C-RFB, EAN: 5706998953810) is a direct-attach copper cable engineered for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. With SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 3-meter length, this cable provides a factory-tested channel for high-speed links between compatible HPE and third-party SFP+ ports in rack, cabinet, and switch-to-switch environments. The black jacket and flexible assembly support organized cable runs and straightforward deployment in data centers and network closets.

Advantages

The X240 10G SFP+ DA cable offers low-latency, energy-efficient connectivity with fixed SFP+ terminations that eliminate separate transceivers. Its 3 m length balances reach and signal integrity for typical rack-to-rack or switch-to-server connections. The cable is vendor-authorized and labeled with the HP Enterprise part number JD097C-RFB and EAN for inventory and compatibility tracking. The durable construction and standardized SFP+ interface simplify installation and reduce the number of field-terminated components required for short-distance 10GbE links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• Interconnects within racks and adjacent rack rows
• Top-of-rack switch uplinks and downlinks in data centers
• Environments requiring vendor-labeled, pre-terminated SFP+ connectivity

How to use

Verify compatibility of the SFP+ ports on your switches or servers with a direct-attach copper (DAC) cable and confirm that the device firmware supports passive SFP+ modules. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius. Align each SFP+ connector with the device port and insert until the latch engages. For removal, depress the latch and withdraw the connector evenly. Label both ends if required for asset management using the MPN or EAN for inventory records.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance 10GbE links (typical rack-to-rack or adjacent rack rows). Avoid excessive bending or tensile stress, and place the cable away from high-heat sources. For long-term deployments, periodically inspect connectors for dust and debris and ensure firmware compatibility if used with non-HPE hardware.
