HP X242 40G QSFP+ DAC 1m

The HP X242 JH234A is a 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach copper cable measuring one metre. It provides a high-speed passive link between switches, routers or servers equipped with matching QSFP+ ports. The cable arrives new and ready for immediate deployment in data-centre or enterprise racks.

Suits short 40G links; not for longer runs

This cable suits installers who need a one-metre 40G interconnect between adjacent QSFP+ ports. It does not suit links that exceed the fixed one-metre reach or connections requiring optical transceivers for extended distance. Buyers needing longer passive copper or active optical cables should look elsewhere.

Highlights

  • 40 Gbps throughput for high-speed data centre links
  • 1 metre reach keeps rack cabling tidy
