HP/Aruba R0Z26A Compatible 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 5 m DAC

Build short-reach 100 GbE links with a direct-attach copper cable designed for HP/Aruba compatibility. This 5 m QSFP28 to QSFP28 DAC is a practical choice for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections where you want high throughput without the added cost and complexity of separate optical transceivers. Direct-attach copper is often the right answer when the link distance is measured in meters, not floors. It keeps the path simple, lowers component count, and helps reduce points of failure in tightly packed network closets and data center rows. The 5 m length gives you enough reach for common rack-to-rack layouts while staying short enough to preserve clean cable management and minimize excess slack. For infrastructure teams standardizing on HP/Aruba hardware, compatibility matters as much as speed. This cable is positioned for environments that need dependable 100G connectivity, straightforward installation, and a cost structure that makes sense for dense switching fabrics. It is a focused interconnect for teams that value deterministic short-range performance over unnecessary complexity.
