HP-compatible 10 GbE DAC cable

The StarTech.com JG081CST is a 5 metre SFP+ direct-attach copper cable rated for 10 GbE links. It ships with SFP+ latching plugs on both ends and is guaranteed 100 percent compatible with the HP JG081C transceiver. The passive twinax construction draws less than 0.1 W and meets Multi-Source Agreement industry standards.

Replaces fiber patch cords for short runs

This copper DAC replaces fibre-optic patch cables and transceivers when the link distance fits within 16.4 ft. The jump is worth it when rack or row connections stay inside that reach and you want lower latency, lower power draw and simpler hot-swap maintenance without cleaning fibre end-faces.

Suits HP switch and server ports needing a tested

Network engineers running HP equipment that calls for the JG081C part number can deploy this cable with confidence. Buyers who need longer reach, active optical cables or non-HP coded modules should look at other options.

Questions about this item

Will the 16.4 ft SFP+ direct-attach cable fit the SFP+ latching ports on my switch?

Yes, both ends terminate in standard SFP+ latching plugs that match MSA-compliant SFP+ ports on switches, routers and NICs.

What is the correct way to seat the latching plugs so the link comes up?

Insert each plug straight into the port until the latch clicks; do not force at an angle or the latch may not engage and the link will stay down.

When should I plan to replace this passive copper DAC?

Replace if the latch tabs break, the cable sheath is kinked, or link errors appear — passive copper has no active parts to wear out otherwise.
