HPE QSFP Network Adapter

This HPE Sourcing QSFP network adapter provides a direct QSFP-to-QSFP connection for data-centre links. It is built for technicians and integrators who need a simple, new-condition gender-changer style adapter to join two QSFP cables or modules without active electronics.

Suits QSFP-to-QSFP patching only

The adapter serves installers joining two QSFP terminations in a rack or patch panel. It does not convert between different connector types, change signalling speeds or provide media conversion, so buyers needing QSFP-to-SFP+, copper-to-fibre translation or active signal conditioning should select a different device.

Dual QSFP connector ends

The unit presents two QSFP connectors on its first end, defining it as a straight-through QSFP coupler. This dual-connector arrangement is the sole specification that determines whether the adapter matches the physical port layout of the link being assembled.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the single-QSFP or the dual-QSFP version of this adapter?

The supplier lists two distinct adapter types: one with a single QSFP connector and another with two QSFP connectors on the first end. Select the single-QSFP model for a single-link connection or the dual-QSFP model when you need two independent links.

What throughput can I expect from the QSFP connector once the adapter is installed in a server?

The QSFP connector on this adapter supports the data rate of the transceiver module you insert; the adapter itself does not impose a speed limit beyond the QSFP form factor.

Which QSFP standard does the adapter follow, and what does that cap in practice?

The adapter uses the industry-standard QSFP interface, so it accepts any compliant QSFP transceiver — SR4, LR4, ER4, or direct-attach copper — and the chosen module determines the maximum reach and speed.
