7-metre 10 Gbps SFP+ direct-attach cable

The HPE J9285D is a 7-metre SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach copper cable rated for 10 Gbps. It connects two SFP+ ports on compatible switches or transceivers without separate optics. The cable suits data-centre racks where short-reach, low-latency links are required.

Passive copper construction for sustained throughput

As a passive DAC, the assembly contains no active electronics and draws no additional power from the port. Signal integrity is maintained across the full 22.97 ft length at the rated 10 Gbps, so sustained loads do not introduce the thermal throttling or latency variation seen with active cables.

SFP+ form-factor limits reach to short distances

The SFP+ direct-attach interface is defined for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections and is not intended for longer runs. Compatibility is confirmed with Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series; other SFP+ equipment must support passive copper at this length to operate correctly.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 m HPE J9285D DAC generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running continuously?

As a passive direct-attach copper cable it has no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power beyond the negligible resistance of the copper conductors.

What SFP+ ports must my equipment provide for this cable to plug in directly?

Both ends terminate in standard SFP+ network connectors, so each linked device — switch, transceiver or network card — needs an available SFP+ cage that accepts 10 Gbps modules.

Will this 7 m DAC work reliably with my Aruba 8320 or 8400 series switches alongside older 1 Gbps SFP modules?

The cable is listed as compatible with Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series; those ports auto-negotiate speed, so 1 Gbps SFP modules in neighbouring slots will operate independently at their rated rate.
