The JBX06329 3m HPE Aruba Compatible 10GBASE-CR SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an industry-standard solution for high-speed network infrastructure deployments. This specialized twinax cable is designed to deliver exceptional performance in demanding data center and enterprise networking environments. Technical Specifications: This passive DAC cable features a robust 30AWG twinax copper construction housed in a protective plastic jacket, ensuring durability and consistent performance. Operating across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), it maintains reliability in diverse environmental conditions. The cable complies with IEEE 802.3ae specifications and adheres to SFF-8431 and SFF-8472 standards, guaranteeing compatibility with HPE Aruba equipment. Performance & Compatibility: The SFP+ to SFP+ copper connector interface enables seamless integration with existing HPE Aruba switching infrastructure. As a direct replacement for HPE part number JH695A, this cable provides a cost-effective alternative without compromising quality or performance. The 3-meter length is ideal for typical rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch connections in standard data center configurations. Advantages of Passive DAC Technology: Unlike active cables, this passive design eliminates the need for power supplies or active electronics, reducing total cost of ownership and heat generation. This makes it an environmentally conscious choice while delivering the same 10Gbps throughput required for modern applications. Compliance & Quality Assurance: Fully RoHS and ELV compliant, this cable meets EU directive 2002/95/EC standards. It carries TUV and UL safety certifications, ensuring it meets the highest industry standards. Every unit includes a 90-day limited warranty, and custom brand programming is available for bulk orders.
