HPE Aruba J9283D 10G SFP+ DAC Cable 3m

Direct-attach cable for Aruba 8320 switches

The HPE Aruba J9283D is a 10G SFP+ direct-attach copper cable built for short-reach links between compatible Aruba switches. It suits network engineers who need a fixed-length, low-latency interconnect without separate transceivers or fibre patch cords. The 3 metre reach fits typical rack-adjacent connections in a data centre row.

Passive copper construction handles continuous 10G

Because the assembly uses passive copper twinax, it draws no power and generates no heat beyond the connector interface, so sustained 10G line-rate traffic does not degrade signal quality over time. There are no active components to age or require firmware updates, making long-term behaviour predictable in a permanently cabled rack. The 1.25 GB/s data rate is maintained across the full 9.84 ft length.

SFP+ to SFP+ fixed length decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the factory-terminated SFP+ connectors on both ends at a fixed 3 metre length; the cable cannot be shortened, extended or converted to another connector type. Buyers who need a different reach, fibre media or breakout configurations must select a different part number.
