Cable Overview
The HPE 487649-B21 is a 16.40 ft SFP+ 10 GbE network cable built for BladeSystem c-Class enclosures. It provides a direct-attach copper link between two SFP+ ports at 10 Gb/s. The multi-color jacket helps identify connections in dense blade chassis. It is intended for administrators wiring blade interconnects or server uplinks inside a single rack.
Target Use
This cable suits HPE BladeSystem environments that require a 10 GbE SFP+ direct-attach link up to 16.40 ft. It is not for deployments needing longer reach, fiber media, or higher data rates. Buyers without SFP+ ports on their blades or switches cannot use this cable. It also does not fit non-HPE blade chassis or standard rack-mount SFP+ equipment that requires a different mechanical latch.
Deciding Spec
The cable length is fixed at 16.40 ft. If the distance between your SFP+ ports exceeds this figure, the cable will not reach. If the run is shorter, the excess length must be managed in the cable-management tray. No other length option exists for this part number.
