Direct-attach copper cable for 40 GbE
This HPE X240 cable uses QSFP+ connectors at both ends to link switches, routers or servers directly without separate transceivers. The three-metre passive copper assembly supports 40 Gbps Ethernet and is ready for immediate deployment in compatible ports.
Suited for short rack-to-rack or intra-rack links
It fits environments where both endpoints accept QSFP+ direct-attach cables and the three-metre reach is sufficient. Buyers who need longer runs, fibre media or different connector types should look at other cable families.
40 Gbps QSFP+ to QSFP+ passive copper, three metres
The single decisive specification is the 40 Gbps direct-attach copper interface with male QSFP+ plugs on a fixed three-metre length. Verify that both devices support this exact cable type before purchase.

Questions about this item
What port spacing does the 9.84 ft QSFP+ DAC require on a switch?
The cable uses standard QSFP+ male connectors on both ends, so it fits any switch port that accepts the QSFP+ form factor with normal pitch.
How do I seat the QSFP+ connectors without damaging the latch?
Align the connector, push straight in until the latch clicks, then pull gently to confirm it is locked; never force it at an angle.
When should I plan to replace this 40G direct attach copper cable?
Replace it if the latch breaks, the cable sheath shows kinks, or link errors appear that disappear when the cable is swapped.
