Detailed Specifications
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
