ENET JH236A-ENC X242 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable, 5m

ENET JH236A-ENC X242

40G QSFP+ to QSFP+Direct Attach Copper Cable, 5m

A reliable and cost-effective 40G DAC cable for short-range connections.

Overview :

The ENET JH236A-ENC is a 5-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet connections between QSFP+ ports. Fully compatible with HPAruba X242 series switches and other QSFP+ devices, it delivers reliable, low-latency connectivity suitable for data center and enterprise network interconnections requiring short-range, cost-effective cabling.

Features :

This passive twinax copper cable eliminates the need for optical transceivers by providing a direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ connection with a fixed length of 5 meters. It supports the 40GBASE-CR4 standard with a data transfer rate up to 40 Gbps, suitable for high-bandwidth, short-reach interconnects such as top-of-rack switch connections or server uplinks. The cable uses standard QSFP+ connectors on both ends and is encoded to ensure compatibility and seamless integration with HPAruba X242 platforms. Its design minimizes power consumption and latency while maintaining high signal integrity. The cable is also RoHS compliant and meets Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specifications for QSFP+ DAC cables.
