SKU CH-9HHX-C9CXM MPN J9285B-AO

A 10 Gb SFP+ passive DAC twinax cable for HP ProCurve links up to 7 metres

  • Product typeOthers
  • 7 m reach connects top-of-rack switches without extra patch panels
  • 10 Gbps passive twinax keeps latency low and power draw minimal
  • HP ProCurve coded for plug-and-play compatibility in validated systems
  • MSA compliant design ensures interoperability with multi-vendor SFP+ ports
  • 100 % functional testing guarantees link-up on first install

HP Procurve Compatible SFP+ DAC

This 10 Gbps direct-attach cable is built for HP Procurve switches and servers that need a short-range copper link. It arrives new and factory-programmed with OEM configuration data so it initialises identically to the original transceiver. Network engineers upgrading rack connections get a tested, MSA-compliant drop-in without the cost of fibre modules.

7 Metre Passive Twinax Reach

The passive twinax assembly carries 10 Gbps traffic up to 7 metres with no external power draw. Latency stays low because the signal remains in the copper domain, making it ideal for adjacent rack units or top-of-rack uplinks. Beyond that distance the passive design runs out of signal budget, so longer runs must move to active copper or optical alternatives.

Replaces Costly OEM Twinax Modules

Swapping an original HP DAC for this unit keeps the same pin-out, firmware handshake and 100 percent functional compatibility. The jump is worth it when a project needs multiple 10 Gbps links and the budget cannot absorb list-price transceivers. It is not for links that exceed 7 metres or for switches that require active-cable equalisation.

Questions about this item

Will this 7 m SFP+ passive DAC work in the HP ProCurve ports I already use?

The cable is built to meet OEM specifications and is 100 percent compatible with HP ProCurve equipment, so it initialises and performs identically to the original transceiver.

How can I verify the link is running at 10 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the port status on your switch — it should show a 10 Gbps link with no errors, and the factory-programmed configuration data ensures seamless compliance.

Does the package include two SFP+ ends or do I need to buy transceivers separately?

The passive DAC has integrated SFP+ connectors on both ends, so nothing extra is required — just plug it into compatible ports.
