Infiniband Splitter Cable JG331A

The HPE JG331A is a 16.40 ft Infiniband splitter network cable designed to branch a single QSFP+ port into four SFP+ connections. It provides a direct-attach copper link for compatible HP 5900 Switch Series hardware in data centre environments.

Suited for HP 5900 uplinks; not for other switches

This cable suits administrators expanding HP 5900 Switch Series ports using the native QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout capability. Buyers operating different switch families or requiring fibre-based breakout cables should look at other options because compatibility is limited to the listed series.

QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout defines fit

The single specification that decides fit is the connector arrangement: one QSFP+ plug on the first end splitting to four SFP+ plugs on the second end. Only ports and transceivers matching this exact breakout topology will work with the cable.

Questions about this item

Does the HPE JG331A include the QSFP+ and SFP+ transceivers or must they be purchased separately?

The cable has a fixed QSFP+ connector on one end and four SFP+ connectors on the other; transceivers are not included and must be bought separately.

How do I know this 16.40 ft splitter is the right version for my HP 5900 Switch Series?

The JG331A is specifically listed as compatible with the HP 5900 Switch Series, so it matches that hardware directly.

What does the 16.40 ft length mean for signal integrity when the cable is installed in a rack?

At 16.40 ft the passive copper assembly stays within typical QSFP+ to SFP+ reach limits, keeping latency low and avoiding the need for active optics in the same rack.
