Detailed Specifications
HPE R0Z25A Aruba 100G QSFP28 1m Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The HPE R0Z25A is a high-speed, direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for reliable 100 Gbps connectivity in demanding data center environments. Specifically engineered for short-reach applications, this passive cable provides a cost-effective and low-latency solution for linking network switches, servers, and storage arrays. It serves as a crucial component for building modern, high-throughput network fabrics, enabling efficient data transfer for bandwidth-intensive workloads where performance and signal integrity are paramount. This cable leverages passive twinaxial copper technology to deliver 100 Gigabit Ethernet performance without the higher cost and power consumption associated with optical transceivers. The design ensures a simple, plug-and-play installation between devices equipped with QSFP28 ports. The R0Z25A is ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments, connecting servers to an access switch within the same rack, or for interconnecting switches in adjacent racks, minimizing cable clutter and maximizing airflow. Built to rigorous HPE Aruba networking standards, this 1-meter cable guarantees compatibility and interoperability within an Aruba infrastructure. Its factory-integrated QSFP28 ends provide a secure and stable connection, reducing the risk of downtime caused by connectivity issues. The passive nature of the cable means it draws minimal power, contributing to lower operational expenses and a more energy-efficient data center.
