HPE Aruba 10G SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

This 1-metre direct attach copper cable connects two SFP+ ports for 10 GbE links between compatible switches or transceivers. It is built for data-centre racks where short, low-latency copper runs replace optical modules. The assembly targets network engineers deploying Aruba 8320 or 8400 series switches.

Sustained 1.25 GB/s throughput

The shielded SFP+ cable maintains the rated 1.25 GB/s data rate across its full length without the signal degradation seen in longer passive copper runs. Its fixed 3.28 ft reach keeps latency predictable for east-west traffic inside a single rack. The 3.20 oz weight adds minimal strain to dense port panels.

Replaces optics for rack-local 10 GbE links

Use this cable instead of two SFP+ transceivers and a fibre patch cord when both ends terminate in the same rack or adjacent racks. The jump is worth it when power budget, cost and insertion loss favour copper over optics. It does not suit links that exceed the fixed 1-metre reach or require media conversion to single-mode fibre.

Questions about this item

Does the HPE Aruba 10G SFP+ direct attach copper cable generate noticeable heat during continuous 10G operation?

The passive copper design draws minimal power and produces negligible heat even under sustained 10G traffic.

Which switch ports are required for this 1m SFP+ to SFP+ cable to function?

It connects two SFP+ ports on Aruba 8320 or 8400 series switches, or any standards-compliant SFP+ interface.

Will this 10G SFP+ copper cable link an Aruba 8320 switch to a legacy 1G SFP transceiver?

No, the cable is built for 10G SFP+ to SFP+ links and does not support 1G SFP modules.
