Direct-attach 40G link

This HPE X240 cable provides a 40G QSFP+ direct-attach copper link between two QSFP+ ports. It suits data-centre racks or high-performance compute clusters that need a short, low-latency interconnect without optical transceivers.

Pre-install checks

Verify that both ends of your link expose QSFP+ cages and that the 3.28 ft reach spans the intended rack positions without strain. Confirm the host equipment supports 40G DAC operation and that no active optical modules are required for the desired link distance.

Thermals and power

Passive copper construction draws negligible power and adds no fan noise to the chassis. Heat dissipation is limited to the connector shells, so normal rack airflow is sufficient for stable operation in typical deployments.

Questions about this item

Does the HPE JG326A ship as a single ready-to-use cable or are transceivers sold separately?

The cable has QSFP+ connectors on both ends built into the assembly so no separate transceivers are needed.

The listing shows a 1 metre length listed as 3.28 ft — is that the only length available for this model?

JG326A is the 1 metre (3.28 ft) variant; other lengths carry different part numbers.

What does the 40G rating mean when the cable is plugged into two switches?

It supports 40 Gbps aggregate throughput between the two QSFP+ ports.
