HPE Networking X242 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ 1m Direct Attach Copper Cable

The HPE JH234A is a 1 meter QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach copper cable that delivers reliable 40 gigabit connectivity between devices positioned close to each other. Because the QSFP+ connectors are integrated, you can create a high-speed link without buying separate transceivers.

Set-up is quick. Plug one end into a compatible HPE Aruba switch, such as the 2930M access model or the CX 8360 core model, attach the other end to another switch, server adapter, or storage target, and the ports come up at 40G. The copper medium keeps latency low and uses less power than optical alternatives, which helps reduce heat and operating costs inside the rack.

This cable shines in scenarios like switch stacking, short uplinks in a top of rack layout, or bench testing where you need fast moves and changes. The one meter length provides enough reach for tidy routing without leaving excess slack, while the sturdy build and 0.41 kg weight help the cable stay fixed once it is dressed into a management panel.
