HP JD096B 10 Gbs SFP to SFP Passive Direct Attach Cable

HP JD096B – Direct Attach Copper Cable SFP+ 1.2 m

Overview :

The HP JD096B is a 1.2‑metre direct‑attach copper (DAC) cable designed for engineers connecting two SFP+ ports at 10 Gb/s in a data‑centre or switching environment. It addresses the need for low‑latency, short‑reach interconnects between top‑of‑rack switches or between a switch and a storage chassis. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase‑CU) and is intended for use in high‑density server racks, aggregation layers or campus distribution where fibre might be over‑engineering or cost‑prohibitive. Since it is a passive twinax copper assembly, there is no active electronics in‑line; this simplifies deployment and reduces power. The cable integrates seamlessly with SFP+ ports on compatible HP (now HPE) and other vendor switches that accept MSA‑compliant SFP+ direct‑attach cables, making it a practical choice for fixed‑length short‑reach links within racks or across adjacent racks.

Key Features :

• 10 Gb/s data rate for high‑bandwidth server links

• SFP+ to SFP+ twinax copper interface, 1.2 m length

• Passive cable (no active components) for simplified deployment

• 30 AWG wire gauge with PVC (OFNR) jacket for rack use

• Supports operating temperature from 0 °C to 70 °C for standard racks
