HPE Aruba J9285D 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 7 m DAC Cable

Keep high-speed links simple across longer rack runs with the HPE Aruba J9285D 10G SFP+ to SFP+ 7 m DAC cable. Designed for direct attach copper connectivity, it delivers a straightforward way to connect compatible SFP+ ports without introducing separate optics, patch cords, or additional power requirements. At 7 m, this cable gives infrastructure teams more placement flexibility than shorter DAC options while preserving the low-latency characteristics that make twinax attractive in top-of-rack and adjacent-rack deployments. It is well suited for environments where predictable 10 GbE connectivity matters more than unnecessary complexity. For teams standardizing on Aruba switching, this cable fits naturally into high-density network designs where port count, airflow, and cable management all matter. It supports clean, direct connections between switches, servers, and storage nodes, helping reduce points of failure and simplify procurement. Choose this model when you need a purpose-built 10 GbE interconnect that balances reach, simplicity, and cost control in enterprise rack environments.
