The JBX05360 1.5m HPE Compatible 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern data center infrastructure. This premium-grade DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable is engineered specifically for HPE environments requiring reliable 40GB Ethernet connectivity without the overhead of active electronics. Technical Excellence: Constructed with 30AWG Twinax copper conductors and durable plastic jacketing, this cable meets the most stringent networking standards. It's fully qualified to IEEE 802.3ba specifications and SFF-8436 transceiver module standards, ensuring compatibility with enterprise-grade equipment. The cable operates reliably across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), accommodating diverse data center environments. Performance Advantages: As a passive DAC solution, the JBX05360 requires no external power, eliminating complexity and potential failure points in your network architecture. This translates to lower operational costs and reduced cooling requirements compared to active solutions. The 1.5-meter length is ideal for short-range connections between servers and adjacent switches—the optimal distance for passive DAC performance. Compliance & Certification: Fully RoHS and ELV compliant under EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets TUV and UL safety certifications, ensuring it meets international regulatory requirements. The cable is engineered as a direct replacement for HPE OEM part number 670759-B23, providing seamless integration into existing HPE ProLiant and FlexiFabric environments. Ideal Applications: • High-performance server interconnects • Switch-to-switch connections • Storage area network (SAN) backbone • Virtual machine cluster connectivity • Low-latency trading environments Customization Options: Custom brand programming is available for enterprise deployments, allowing you to standardize on your preferred branding across your infrastructure. With free standard shipping on orders over $99 and a 90-day limited warranty, the JBX05360 delivers exceptional value for data center professionals seeking reliable, cost-efficient 40GB connectivity solutions.
