ENET SF28C2-HPIN-5M-ENC

5m HPE Aruba to Intel Compatible 25GBASE-CU SFP28 Passive Copper Cable

A 5-meter passive DAC cable for 25G Ethernet connections.

Overview :

The ENET SF28C2-HPIN-5M-ENC is a 5-meter 25GBASE-CU SFP28 passive copper cable optimized for direct connectivity between HPE Aruba switches and Intel server adapters. Designed for enterprise and data center deployments, it offers affordable, high-speed bandwidth suitable for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections without the need for additional transceivers or power.

Features :

This cable provides seamless 25Gbps data transmission and utilizes SFP28 connectors on both ends to ensure broad compatibility with HPE Aruba and Intel adapters supporting SFP28 interfaces. Its 5-meter length is ideal for medium-range interconnections within server rooms or networks with distributed switching hardware, while the passive copper twinax construction guarantees low signal latency and minimal electromagnetic interference. Plug-and-play functionality enables quick installation and scaling, reducing downtime or IT complexity during network upgrades. This model conforms to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and IEEE standards for interoperability across major hardware platforms, giving assurance for mission-critical environments. Low power draw and passive design help maintain overall data center efficiency, resulting in less heat and operational cost compared to active or optical interconnects.
