HP JL488A 25G SFP28 DAC cable

This three-metre direct-attach cable connects two SFP28 ports at 25 Gbps for short-reach links inside a rack. It is built for Aruba switching environments where a fixed-length copper assembly is preferred over pluggable optics. ||

Check port compatibility and reach before ordering

Verify that both ends of the link use SFP28 interfaces rated for 25 Gbps direct-attach operation. Confirm the three-metre length fits the rack layout without excess slack or tension. Ensure the switch firmware supports this part number for error-free bring-up.

Questions about this item

What is included with the HP JL488A 25G SFP28 DAC and do I need to buy transceivers separately?

The cable has SFP28 connectors permanently attached at both ends, so no separate transceivers are required.

When should I choose the 3 metre HP JL488A over a different length?

Choose this 3 metre version when the switch and server ports are within that distance; longer runs need a longer cable.
