HPE ANW QSFP56 SFP56 0.65m DAC

Support short-reach 50G connectivity with HPE’s QSFP56 to SFP56 direct attach copper cable. At 0.65 m, it is sized for tightly packed racks where switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links need to stay compact, orderly, and easy to service. Direct attach copper is a practical choice when you want to avoid the added cost and power draw of optical transceivers for short runs. This cable keeps the connection path simple between QSFP56 and SFP56 endpoints, making it well suited to high-density data center fabrics, leaf-spine topologies, and adjacent equipment connections. The value of a cable like this is not just speed. It is the combination of short-reach performance, reduced cabling overhead, and a cleaner physical layout that helps operations teams work faster. In environments where every rack unit and every port matters, a purpose-built DAC can be the difference between a tidy deployment and a maintenance burden. Choose this cable when you need a compact 50G link that fits the realities of modern rack design and keeps critical network paths direct.
