Key Features

25GBASE-CU passive DAC cable
SFP28 connector on both ends
HP/Aruba JL487A compatible
Direct attach copper twinax construction
Designed for short-reach 25 GbE interconnects
Passive copper link for dense rack use

When the network path is short, the cabling should be simple. This HP/Aruba JL487A compatible passive DAC cable is designed for direct 25 GbE interconnects between SFP28 ports, making it a practical choice for adjacent switches, leaf-spine edge links, and other dense rack deployments where clean routing matters. Passive twinax construction keeps the link straightforward and efficient for short-reach use, while the SFP28-to-SFP28 interface aligns with modern 25 GbE switching hardware. For teams standardizing on Aruba-compatible infrastructure, this cable offers a direct physical-layer match for short copper runs without the overhead of optics, transceivers, or unnecessary slack. It is the right fit when the goal is not distance, but control: fewer components, tighter cable management, and a direct path between critical network devices. In high-density environments, that simplicity is worth paying for.

Ideal For

Adjacent switch interconnects in 25 GbE racks
Short copper links in Aruba-compatible network fabrics
Dense data center deployments that need minimal cable slack
Leaf-spine edge connections where direct SFP28 cabling is preferred
