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 Cable optimized 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 traffic DC Supplies. The cable's PVC jacket provides durability and flexibility in rack environments, and environmental certifications (RoHS/WEEE/REACH) ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
