HPE X240 Direct Attach Copper Cable QSFP28 to SFP28 1m

The HPE X240 Direct Attach Copper Cable is a high-performance, passive copper cable designed for reliable, low-latency connections in data center environments. It connects QSFP28 ports to SFP28 ports, supporting 100 Gbps on the QSFP28 end and 25 Gbps on the SFP28 end, making it ideal for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects.

Advantages

This cable offers a cost-effective, low-power solution for high-speed data transmission. Its passive design consumes less than 0.1W, reducing overall power consumption in the data center. The 1-meter length provides flexibility in rack configurations while maintaining signal integrity.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center interconnects
• Server-to-switch connections
• Switch-to-switch links
