Aruba J9285D 10G SFP+ DAC cable 7m with SFP+ connectors on both ends

HP

HP Aruba J9285D 10G SFP+ DAC Cable 7m

SKU CH-YV7X-5AHE9

A 7-metre direct-attach cable linking two SFP+ ports at 10 Gbit/s for Aruba 8320 and 8400 switches

  • 10 Gbit/s direct-attach speed for low-latency links
  • 7 metre SFP+ copper reach without transceivers
  • Plug-and-play SFP+ ends simplify rack cabling
  • Passive design cuts power draw and heat output
  • Validated for Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series

Product Identity

The HP Aruba J9285D is a 10 Gbit/s direct-attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. It is built for network engineers linking Aruba 8320 or 8400 series switches in a rack or row.

Cable Reach Constraints

The 22.97 ft length sets a fixed distance between ports and cannot be extended or shortened in the field. Passive copper construction limits deployment to this reach at the rated 10 Gbit/s data rate.

Upgrade Context

This cable replaces shorter SFP+ DACs when switch uplinks or stack links span greater rack distances. The jump is worth it when existing cables cannot bridge the gap between Aruba 8320 or 8400 units.

Highlights

  • 10 Gbit/s direct-attach speed for low-latency links
  • 7 metre SFP+ copper reach without transceivers
  • Plug-and-play SFP+ ends simplify rack cabling
  • Passive design cuts power draw and heat output
  • Validated for Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 7 m length or a shorter DAC for my Aruba 8320 switch?

Choose the 7 m (22.97 ft) cable when the switch and server ports are far apart; shorter DACs save cost and airflow but only reach shorter distances.

What does the 10 Gbit/s rate deliver when the cable is plugged into an Aruba 8400?

The link runs at line-rate 10 Gbit/s with sub-microsecond latency and no transceiver power draw, ideal for server uplinks or storage traffic.

Will the SFP+ connectors work in any SFP+ port or only Aruba-branded modules?

Both ends use standard SFP+ connectors, so they fit any SFP+ port, but HPE only validates operation on Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series.
