  • HPE X240 series built for switching environments
  • Passive copper design needs no external power
  • JH694A model identified for easy ordering

Product identity

The HPE JH694A X240 is a 10 Gb SFP+ direct-attach copper cable measuring 1.2 metres. It provides a fixed twin-axial link between two SFP+ ports for short-reach networking inside a rack or cabinet.

Who this suits and who it does not

Suitable for administrators connecting switches, servers or storage arrays with matching SFP+ interfaces at 10 Gb speeds. Not suited for links that exceed the supplied length, for environments requiring optical isolation, or for ports that operate at a different signalling rate.

Deciding specification

The cable is built for 10 Gb SFP+ to SFP+ operation with a 1.2 metre reach, so the port speed and physical connector type on both ends determine whether it is the correct part.

Questions about this item

Which length and speed variant of the HPE X240 DAC matches a 10G SFP+ link up to 1.2m?

The JH694A is a 1.2m direct-attach cable rated for 10G SFP+ on both ends, so it fits that exact reach and speed.

What does the 10G SFP+ rating mean when the cable is plugged into two switches?

It provides a fixed 10 Gbps link with no transceivers to install, drawing power directly from the SFP+ ports.

How does the SFP+ direct-attach interface limit the connection in practice?

The cable is passive and locked to 1.2m, so it cannot exceed that distance or be used with optical modules.
