25G SFP28 direct attach copper cable

The HP JL489A is a 5 metre direct attach copper cable with SFP28 connectors at both ends. It provides a 25 Gbit/s link between compatible network devices without the need for separate transceivers. The shielded black assembly weighs approximately 0.80 lb and measures 16.40 ft in length.

Ideal for short reach switch-to-switch

Suited for data-centre racks where 25 GbE connectivity is required over very short distances. Not intended for links that exceed the fixed 5 metre reach or for installations that require optical fibre media. Buyers needing longer runs or different connector types should consider alternative cable assemblies.

25 Gbit/s data transfer rate

The cable is rated for 25 Gbit/s operation using the SFP28 electrical interface. This single figure determines whether the link will meet the bandwidth requirement of the attached ports. Verify that both endpoints support 25G SFP28 direct attach copper before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SFP28 connectors and what is the common mistake?

Insert each SFP28 end straight into the switch or server port until the latch clicks; the common mistake is angling the module, which bends the internal pins.

What maintenance or replacement will this 5 m direct-attach copper cable need later?

No scheduled maintenance; replace only if the cable is kinked, the latch breaks, or link errors appear after 25 Gbit/s operation.

What limit appears first during sustained 25 Gbit/s use of this 16.40 ft copper assembly?

The 5 m copper reach is the first limit; longer runs would require active optical cables instead.
