The HP Aruba 100G QSFP28-QSFP28 3m DAC Cable, part number JL307A, is a direct attach copper cable designed for high-speed network connectivity. This cable facilitates 100 Gigabit Ethernet links between devices equipped with QSFP28 ports, making it suitable for short-distance interconnections within data centers, server racks, or network closets. It addresses the need for reliable, cost-effective, and low-latency connections over distances up to 3 meters. Businesses requiring high-bandwidth links between switches, servers, or storage arrays will find this cable useful for establishing robust network infrastructure without the complexity or power consumption associated with optical transceivers for short runs. It is intended for IT professionals and network architects building or expanding high-performance computing environments where direct, high-speed cabling is essential.
This cable is primarily used for establishing high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short distances, typically within data centers, server racks, or network closets. It connects devices with QSFP28 ports, such as switches, servers, or storage arrays.
The cable features QSFP28 connectors on both ends, enabling direct attachment between compatible networking hardware.
This direct attach copper cable supports connections up to a maximum length of 3 meters.
A DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable is a twinax copper cable assembly with transceivers permanently attached to both ends. It provides a cost-effective and low-power solution for short-distance, high-speed network links.
