This cable suits administrators who need to break out one high-density uplink into four separate links on compatible HP 5900 switches. Teams running other switch platforms or requiring a different breakout geometry should verify support before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the JG331A splitter cable's QSFP+ interface support?

The cable is a passive splitter that breaks out a single QSFP+ port into four SFP+ connections for the HP 5900 Switch Series.

What physical space is needed for the 16.40 ft splitter cable's connectors?

One QSFP+ port on the switch side and four adjacent SFP+ ports on the device side, with 16.40 ft of cable routing between them.

How is the JG331A cable installed, and which step is often missed?

Insert the QSFP+ end into the switch until it clicks, then seat each SFP+ end into its port; the step often missed is fully latching all four SFP+ connectors.
