Aruba J9285D 10G SFP+ DAC cable 7m with SFP+ connectors on both ends

HP

HP Aruba J9285D 10G SFP+ DAC Cable 7m

SKU CH-YV7X-5AHE9

A 7-metre direct-attach cable linking two SFP+ ports at 10 Gbit/s for Aruba 8320 and 8400 switches

  • 10 Gbit/s direct-attach speed for low-latency links
  • 7 metre SFP+ copper reach without transceivers
  • Plug-and-play SFP+ ends simplify rack cabling
  • Passive design cuts power draw and heat output
  • Validated for Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series

Product Identity

The HP Aruba J9285D is a 10 Gbit/s direct-attach copper cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends. It is built for network engineers linking Aruba 8320 or 8400 series switches in a rack or row.

Cable Reach Constraints

The 22.97 ft length sets a fixed distance between ports and cannot be extended or shortened in the field. Passive copper construction limits deployment to this reach at the rated 10 Gbit/s data rate.

Upgrade Context

This cable replaces shorter SFP+ DACs when switch uplinks or stack links span greater rack distances. The jump is worth it when existing cables cannot bridge the gap between Aruba 8320 or 8400 units.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 7 m length or a shorter DAC for my Aruba 8320 switch?

Choose the 7 m (22.97 ft) cable when the switch and server ports are far apart; shorter DACs save cost and airflow but only reach shorter distances.

What does the 10 Gbit/s rate deliver when the cable is plugged into an Aruba 8400?

The link runs at line-rate 10 Gbit/s with sub-microsecond latency and no transceiver power draw, ideal for server uplinks or storage traffic.

Will the SFP+ connectors work in any SFP+ port or only Aruba-branded modules?

Both ends use standard SFP+ connectors, so they fit any SFP+ port, but HPE only validates operation on Aruba 8320 and 8400 switch series.
