Splitter Cable for HP 5900 Series
The HPE JG331A is a 16.40 ft Infiniband splitter cable built to connect a single QSFP+ port to four SFP+ ports. It is manufactured by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and designed for use with network devices.
Network teams upgrading HP 5900 Switch Series
This cable suits administrators who need to break out one high-density uplink into four separate links on compatible HP 5900 switches. Teams running other switch platforms or requiring a different breakout geometry should verify support before purchasing.
QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout configuration
The single specification that determines fit is the connector pairing: one QSFP+ plug on the first end and four SFP+ plugs on the second. Match this exact layout to the port layout on the target switch.

Questions about this item
What bandwidth does the JG331A splitter cable's QSFP+ interface support?
The cable is a passive splitter that breaks out a single QSFP+ port into four SFP+ connections for the HP 5900 Switch Series.
What physical space is needed for the 16.40 ft splitter cable's connectors?
One QSFP+ port on the switch side and four adjacent SFP+ ports on the device side, with 16.40 ft of cable routing between them.
How is the JG331A cable installed, and which step is often missed?
Insert the QSFP+ end into the switch until it clicks, then seat each SFP+ end into its port; the step often missed is fully latching all four SFP+ connectors.
