Aruba 25G SFP28 direct attach cable

This 0.65 metre cable connects two SFP28 ports at 25 Gbit/s. It is built for Aruba 8325 series switches and compatible network devices. The black shielded assembly carries the HPE JL487A part number.

Check your ports and spacing before ordering

Verify that both ends of the link accept SFP28 transceivers and that the 2.13 foot reach matches the rack layout. The cable is fixed length and cannot be extended or cut to fit.

Passive copper holds signal quality across

Because the assembly uses integrated SFP28 ends, latency and error rate stay consistent without external power. It is not suited for runs longer than 0.65 m or for links requiring active equalisation.

Questions about this item

Does the JL487A cable ship with any transceivers or do I need to supply my own SFP28 modules?

The JL487A is a direct attach cable with SFP28 connectors permanently fixed on both ends, so no separate transceivers are required.

My rack only needs a half-metre reach; is the 0.65 m length the shortest Aruba 25 Gbit/s SFP28 DAC available?

The JL487A measures 0.65 m (2.13 ft) and is the length offered for this 25 Gbit/s SFP28 direct attach cable.

When I plug the JL487A into an Aruba 8325 switch, will the link negotiate at the full 25 Gbit/s rate automatically?

Yes, the cable is rated for 25 Gbit/s and is listed as compatible with the Aruba 8325 series, so the link will operate at that speed.
