JG081CST - SFP+ to SFP+ 10 Gbps Passive Twinax Copper Direct Attach Cable| 16.4 ft (5 m) | HPE Compatible

The Startech.com JG081CST is a reliable, low-latency 10 Gbps passive Twinax copper Direct Attach Cableoptimized for short-distance connectivity in high-density network environments. This 5 meter (16.4 ft) cable features SFP+ male connectors at both ends and is fully HPE JG081C-compatible, ensuring seamless plug-and-play operation with compatible HPE switches and routers. Designed to meet the needs of in-rack or rack-to-rack connections, the JG081CST provides consistent performance without the overhead or expense of fiber optics and transceivers, making it an ideal solution for cost-conscious, high-throughput deployments.

Features

The JG081CST utilizes a passive Twinax copper construction (24 AWG) capable of sustaining full 10 Gbps Ethernet throughput over a robust 5 m link length. Compliant with MSA standards, this cable supports link integrity, low power usage (< 0.1 W), and hot-swappable capability, allowing for maintenance or upgrades without network disruption. Its design ensures compatibility with HPE models such as 1950, 5500, 5510, 5700, and FlexFabric systems×tested and verified for seamless interoperability across a wide range of enterprise platforms

Advanced Options

With solid impedance matching (100 Ω) and gold-plated SFP+ connectors, the JG081CST delivers stable signal integrity and minimal loss (< 1.5 dB at 10 G), making it ideal for latency-sensitive applications such as virtualization, server switching, and storage trafficDC Supplies. The cable's PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility in rack environments, and environmental certifications (RoHS/WEEE/REACH) ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
