HPE/Aruba to Intel SF28C2-HPIN-5M 25G SFP28 DAC 3 m

Keep short-reach 25 GbE connections tight, direct, and easy to manage with this 3 m SFP28 direct attach copper cable. Built for HPE/Aruba-to-Intel compatible environments, it provides a straightforward way to connect SFP28 ports without the cost or complexity of separate optics and transceivers. For short runs inside the rack or between adjacent cabinets, DAC remains one of the most efficient ways to move traffic at 25 GbE. The copper construction is ideal when you want low-latency connectivity, minimal power draw, and a clean physical footprint. It helps reduce cable clutter in dense switching environments while keeping installation simple: plug in, route, and go. That makes it a strong choice for top-of-rack architectures, server aggregation, and storage connectivity where short distance and consistent performance are the priority. For teams standardizing mixed-vendor infrastructure, compatibility across HPE/Aruba and Intel ecosystems can simplify procurement and deployment planning. This cable is a practical, production-ready option for environments that need dependable 25 GbE transport without overbuying on reach or optics.
