The JBX05906 2-meter 200GBASE-CR4 QSFP56 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable represents the ideal solution for organizations seeking high-performance, cost-effective network connectivity. Specifically designed as a drop-in replacement for HPE's R8M57A cable, this passive breakout DAC eliminates the need for expensive active optical solutions while maintaining exceptional data integrity and transmission speeds. Technical Specifications & Performance: This cable features industry-leading 26AWG twinax copper conductors encased in durable plastic jacketing, delivering 200GB/s data rates across 2 meters with minimal signal degradation. The passive breakout design converts a single QSFP56 port into two independent QSFP56 connections, providing network architects with flexible port expansion capabilities without additional power requirements or heat generation. Compliance & Reliability: Fully qualified to IEEE 802.3cd specifications with QSFP56 MSA and CMIS certification, the JBX05906 meets stringent industry standards. RoHS, TUV, and UL certifications ensure environmental compliance and safety across global deployments. The 90-day limited warranty provides additional peace of mind for mission-critical installations. Applications & Use Cases: Perfect for data center infrastructure, high-frequency trading environments, cloud computing facilities, and enterprise storage networks. The passive breakout design makes this cable particularly valuable where power efficiency and low-latency requirements are paramount. Compatible with HPE switching infrastructure, making it an essential component for organizations standardized on HPE platforms. Advantages Over Alternatives: Unlike active breakout cables, the JBX05906 operates without external power, reducing operational costs and potential points of failure. Compared to optical solutions, passive DACs offer superior cost-efficiency while maintaining the performance required for next-generation 200GB networking. Operating Conditions: Rated for 0-70°C operating temperatures, the cable remains stable across diverse data center environments. Manufactured in Vietnam and China with quality assurance standards meeting international specifications.
