The JBX06223 1m HPE Aruba Compatible 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an affordable, reliable solution for modern enterprise networking infrastructure. This 30AWG twinax copper cable is specifically engineered to meet demanding 10GB Ethernet requirements while maintaining compatibility with HPE Aruba equipment and other leading network platforms. **Key Technical Specifications:** This passive DAC cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for transceiver modules in direct-attach scenarios. The 30-gauge copper construction provides optimal signal integrity while maintaining flexibility for routing in crowded equipment racks. At just 1 meter in length, it's ideal for short-distance connections between adjacent switches, server NICs, and network appliances—the primary use cases for DAC technology. **Compliance & Standards:** Fully qualified to IEEE SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 specifications, this cable meets rigorous industry standards for 10GBASE-CR passive copper connectivity. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmental responsibility and reliability. UL and TUV safety certifications provide additional assurance for enterprise deployments. **Performance Advantages:** Passive DAC cables offer significant advantages over active alternatives: zero power consumption, minimal latency, and excellent interoperability. Unlike active DAC cables that require power and are often vendor-specific, this passive design works across multiple platforms and manufacturers, reducing total cost of ownership. **Operating Conditions:** With an operating temperature range of 0-70°C, this cable performs reliably in standard data center environments and common network closets. The durable plastic jacketing protects against physical damage while maintaining optimal electrical characteristics. **Ideal Applications:** - Data center switch-to-switch connectivity - Server-to-switch connections for high-frequency trading and financial services - Storage area network (SAN) implementations - Cloud infrastructure expansions - Network equipment upgrades requiring 10GB speed **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty and available from U.S. shipping locations in Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC, this product offers reliable fulfillment with free standard shipping on qualifying orders. Compatible with HPE/Aruba equipment while maintaining broad compatibility across industry-standard 10GBASE-CR implementations.
