HPE JG329A Infiniband Splitter Cable

The HPE JG329A is a passive copper splitter cable that breaks one QSFP+ port into four independent SFP+ connections. It is intended for network administrators linking HP 5900 Switch Series equipment to multiple SFP+ devices using a single high-density uplink port.

Behaviour under sustained load

As a direct-attach copper assembly, the cable introduces no active components that could throttle or add latency during continuous operation. Signal integrity is maintained across the 3.28 ft length for the supported data rates without the power draw or heat associated with active optical transceivers.

Upgrade path and fit

This splitter replaces the need for four separate QSFP+ to SFP+ breakout modules and their associated patch cords, reducing panel congestion and component count. The jump is worthwhile when the switch side has available QSFP+ ports and the far-end devices require individual SFP+ interfaces.

Questions about this item

Does the JG329A splitter cable generate noticeable heat or consume extra power when used continuously in an HP 5900 Switch Series?

The HPE JG329A is a passive splitter cable with no active electronics, so it draws no additional power and produces no measurable heat during all-day operation.

What switch ports and modules must already be installed for the JG329A to function?

You need a free QSFP+ port on the switch and four SFP+ transceivers to plug into the splitter’s four SFP+ ends.

Can the JG329A connect older SFP+ transceivers to a QSFP+ uplink on the HP 5900 Switch Series?

Yes, the splitter breaks out one QSFP+ connection into four SFP+ interfaces, letting existing SFP+ modules link to the 5900 series uplink.
