The JBX06082 5m HPE ProCurve 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an excellent solution for organizations requiring high-speed, cost-effective network connectivity. This cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with the reliability and compatibility demanded by enterprise environments. **Key Features & Specifications:** This passive DAC cable utilizes premium 24AWG twinax copper conductors with plastic jacketing, providing superior signal fidelity and electromagnetic shielding. Operating across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), it maintains performance stability in diverse deployment scenarios. At 5 meters in length, it bridges equipment within typical datacenter rack distances while minimizing signal degradation. **HPE ProCurve Compatibility:** Qualified to SFF-8431 specifications and SFF-8472 standards, this cable ensures seamless integration with HPE ProCurve networking equipment. It directly replaces HPE part numbers J9284B and J9284D, making upgrades straightforward and cost-effective. **Regulatory Compliance:** Full RoHS/ELV compliance and EU directive 2002/95/EC adherence ensure environmental responsibility. UL and TUV certifications verify safety and quality standards. Manufactured in Vietnam and China with stringent quality controls. **Performance Advantages:** Passive DAC technology eliminates power consumption and heat generation associated with active cables, reducing operational costs. The copper construction delivers excellent impedance matching and minimal signal loss. SFP+ connectors support 10GBASE-CR transmission with low latency suitable for latency-sensitive applications. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for datacenter deployments, server clustering, switch interconnections, and enterprise network infrastructure requiring high-speed connectivity. Particularly valuable in cost-sensitive environments where active cable solutions aren't justified. **Support & Warranty:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Custom brand programming available for enterprise deployments. Shipped from Danville, CA or Beaufort, SC with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring rapid deployment.
